- Synopsis
- The final four Hagenheim novels from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson, now available in one low-priced e-collection.The Orphan&’s WishA reimagining of the beloved folktale, Aladdin, set in medieval Germany.Orphaned and alone, Aladdin travels from the streets of his Arab homeland to a strange, faraway place. Growing up in an orphanage, he meets young Lady Kirstyn, whose father is the powerful Duke of Hagenheim. Despite the difference in their stations, Aladdin quickly becomes Kirstyn&’s favorite companion, and their childhood friendship grows into a bond that time and opposition cannot break.An enchanting new version of the well-known tale, The Orphan&’s Wish tells a story of courage and loyalty, friendship and love, and reminds us what &“family&” really means.The Warrior MaidenA reimagining of the classic Mulan tale in medieval Europe, where both love and war challenge even the strongest of hearts.When Mulan takes her father&’s place in battle against the besieging Teutonic Knights, she realizes she has been preparing for this journey her whole life—and that her life, and her mother&’s, depends on her success. As the adopted daughter of poor parents, Mulan has little power in the world. If she can&’t prove herself on the battlefield, she could face death—or, perhaps worse, marriage to the village butcher.The Piper&’s PursuitA fairy-tale journey of intrigue and romance that reimagines the classic Pied Piper story.A plague of rats.
