Textul de pe ultima copertă

Twelve princesses suffer from a puzzling—and downright silly—curse, but whoever breaks it wins a handsome reward. And sharp-witted Reveka wants to buy a position as a master herbalist. But curses don't like to be broken, and Reveka's investigations lead her to deeper mysteries. Soon she faces a daunting choice—will she risk everything to break the curse?
