Reality can suck, but...

Do you love fairy tales? Have you devoured the books by Holly Black and Sarah J. Maas and crave more of that fairytale-inspired goodness? Do you enjoy stories of growth, compassion, and strength beyond measure? What about a magic-wielding heroine with a heart of gold, living a life of hardship?  Are you one to root for a happy ending? Are you ready to jump into a slow-burn Romantasy and journey from "Once upon a time" to a happily ever after?

It's time to lift your wands and join Fairy Godmother Tatiana and Prince Edan on their journey of trials and tribulations to seize their happily ever after...

... because love is always worth fighting for.

Snag this beautiful, special edition of Curse of the Fallen Fairy. Your support will help bring this wish to life!
Look at all these yummy tropes!




Who we are!

Hi, we're Angela Sanders and Tina Glasneck, two USA Today bestselling authors and friends, who've teamed up to bring you a tale of magic and mayhem, and we invite you to join us in this new world where magic is real and love is off-limits.

With more than a hundred books written (combined), we love nothing more than a sharp pen and a bowl of coffee to whet our appetites, and perhaps an occasional Dirty Sangria (if you know, you know). The stakes are high, with action-packed scenes; the passion is swoon-worthy, and a happily ever after ending is guaranteed. 

Welcome to Sanders & Glasneck. We'll make you crave a new book boyfriend (or two).

And so it begins...


Fairy godmothers aren’t supposed to fall in love.

In a world where fairy godmothers are bound to serve, Tatiana's desire for Prince Edan is a rebellion against the very fabric of her existence.

Born of the Fallen Fairy's cursed blood, Tatiana's always been an outcast, forced to claw her way to the top of the Godmother's guild. But Edan's acceptance of her—flaws and all—is a siren's call she can't resist. As she surrenders to her forbidden love, the guild's rules and the kingdom's expectations become a prison she's determined to shatter.

But Fate has other plans, and Tatiana finds herself at war with her own kind, a vengeful princess, and the darkness within. 

Will Tatiana find a way to claim her happily ever after, or will the shadows of her mother's legacy consume her?

The Characters

A Story is more than just what happens...it comes to life with those characters whom we meet along the journey.



All things magical came with a cost, a contract even—be it to turn a gourd into a coach or make a vampire into one as white as snow. Nothing happened without the price of magic, or the wands wielded to grant those wishes.

In all the splendor that one could only discover in the Kingdom of Marindel, with its tall ivory towers, the realm beckoned the gaze of immortals and men alike. In the shadows of such, magic buzzed, not the magic of imps and pixies, or even that of trolls and goblins, but of fairies.

Tatiana


Tatiana has lived under the ill repute of her mother's reputation for years and those in the Fairy Godmother Guild have not let her forget it. She's the runt, the ill-forgotten, the one disliked for no other reason than her mother's apparent evil...of treason.

She has only one true friend, Claire, who has taken her under her wing despite the Guild's mockery. But as she watches her best friend tried and convicted of a crime she knows she didn't commit, Tatiana starts to see things differently about the world around her, as well as the cracks in the Guild's facade, and her only ally might be the "forbidden" Prince Edan.

Prince Edan


Someone wants him worse than dead but made into their puppet. Prince Edan, the heir to the throne, has his own problems, for the powers that be have decided he is to receive his happily ever after with a princess from a nearby kingdom. Such an alliance would be a boon for Marindel, while failure to obey could release a prophesied cataclysm like the kingdom has never seen! However, in this kiss-and-tell kingdom, he knows that malice is only a breath away. His only way out of this subterfuge may be at the side of the outcast, Tatiana: the only one who he can trust when magic can manipulate everything around him.

He's learned to expect everything, except the complication that Tatiana provides. Although he's to play the game as "Prince Charming" with the princess, he can't help but feel a stirring that would mean Tatiana's death and his own demise.

New Art & New Story

"Wow. These two authors are on fire together! What price would we pay for love and our own happily ever after? This tale looks into one possibility!" – Goodreads Review


A great question to pose...



Curse of the Fallen Fairy was originally released as a part of the anthology, Once Upon A Fairytale Night. However, with this special edition not only does it include new content and higher stakes, but there is new art including character art and a world map. Even more, since this story has never been released on its own, we've polished it up to give it all of the bells and whistles for your reading pleasure, including: 

  • A beautiful new cover (object-based and dust jacket)
  • Amazing full-page chapter headings
  • Colored forced edges
  • Custom end pages
  • All backers also receive a custom Oracle card

There is nothing like a little hidden magic....



And this is just the basic model. During our campaign, as we push to unlock new and amazing upgrades through our stretch goals, you'll have a chance to unlock additional things like:

  • Ribbon bookmarks, which are a part of the book
  • Digitally signed paperbacks
  • Hand-signed, special-edition books 
  • Full-color interior 
  • A fairy-themed enamel pin
  • Slipcase to protect your beautiful book 
  • Commissioned Character art
  • Bonus scenes from the cutting room floor
  • Behind-the-scenes bonuses 


Ooh, so special!


Get lost in Curse of the Fallen Fairy which features:
  • A Standalone romance 
  • 6x9 hardcover edition and or 5x8 paperback
  • With the editing and rewriting process, we are estimating around 75k words and 414-page hardback or 368-page paperback (maybe more or less after the editing process).
  • Printed Forced-Edges
  • Dust Jacket that covers the lovely object-based cover!
  • Beautiful formatting

Discover the black-and-white interior formatting, which features a lush forest with ancient trees, and a fairy in the chapter heading. This is the basic formatting available. We hope to unlock the interior color option upgrade.
