Ella Enchanted

She's cursed to obey every command — and the prince just ordered her to stay away from him forever.

Ella of Frell has lived her entire life enslaved by a fairy's "gift" of obedience, forced to bend to any will but her own. When fate keeps throwing her into the orbit of the charming, infuriating Prince Char, she does what any sensible girl would do: she fights her growing feelings with everything she has. Because loving him isn't just dangerous — it's a weapon her enemies can use to destroy him.

Char sees a girl who challenges him, outwits him, and disappears without explanation. Ella sees a boy she can never have. Between stolen conversations in foreign courts, letters that crackle with unspoken longing, and a masked disguise that's unraveling faster than her composure, the space between them fills with something neither can name and neither can afford.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their obstacles are impossible. And Ella's curse means that the moment anyone discovers what she feels, she becomes the single greatest threat to the kingdom — and to the prince she's desperately trying to protect by pretending she hates him.

But curses aren't forever. And neither is the distance she's placed between them.

*Ella Enchanted* is proof that the most powerful magic isn't the kind cast upon you — it's the kind that breaks you open from the inside.
