Book details
The Castle Corona
Description
Long ago and far away, there was a grand and glittering Castle Corona, home to the rich, royal, and spoiled family of King Guido. King Guido was so spoiled that he longed for simple comforts like a nap and a non-itchy gown. Far below the castle, in the dense woods, lived two poor but proud peasants in possession of a stolen pouch. This was no ordinary pouch, as its contents had the power to unlock secrets and transform lives.
