Galen has served his country during it's long war, but now he has returned and is working in the palace gardens.

But will he be able to discover it before the princesses are ruined by the whispers of witchcraft and murder which surround them?
Review:
The Princess of the Midnight Ball is an entertaining retelling of the Grimm Brothers Twelve Princesses fairy tale. It is a quick read, but manages to be entertaining without being too silly, combines a love story with heroism, and pits good against evil. The book will be appealing to tweens of all ages who like a romantic but adventurous tale.
