The Solitaire Prince
By Tyan Wyss

'Once upon a time there was a King who never listened to his daughter,' begins "The Solitaire Prince," a medieval fairy tale with a twist. Princess Christine's fairy-godmother, Eloise, gives her incredible beauty, intelligence, wit, and a definite knack for the lonely game of Solitaire. Christine's mother, Queen Isabella, lost her throne over 18 years ago to her husband, King Henry, who has determined only males are fit to rule. He plots to secure his daughter a husband who will succeed the throne after his death and enlists the aid of his niece, Agnes, to keep his head-strong daughter in line. Christine's fairy-godmother, Eloise, encourages the princess to require any prospective husband to win three games of solitaire or lose his head trying! Things go awry when two princes, Charles and Peter try their luck and Christine loses her heart to the wrong prince while her cousin Agnes falls in love with the winner! How this medieval tale of chance ends will be anyone's call, but one thing's for certain; King Henry and his kingdom will never be the same!
