A fairy tale where magic, wonder, and nightmares coexist
In a magical kingdom, full of legends and dreams, Princess Lissla Lissar cannot find a place for herself. The beauty and admiration that her parents evoke in their wake fail to touch her, and her life is sad and solitary.
As little Lissar grows older, the illusion of perfection begins to crumble in the kingdom and the dream turns into a nightmare. Accompanied by Ceniza, her faithful dog, she will flee to the mountains seeking refuge after a terrible event, and together they will forge a very different destiny from the one everyone in the kingdom had imagined for her.
Robin McKinley puts the incredible lyricism of her pen at the service of the story, dwelling on everyday details that shed light and hope on this dark tale, a reinterpretation of Perrault's classic tale "Donkeyskin," which focuses on overcoming trauma.
