Maria the Little Lucky Star

About this story

Maria, a lop-eared rabbit orphan, grew up in a boar-folk village. Because whatever she said always came true, the villagers saw her as a cursed child and drove her into a cowshed to live alone. Duchess Ethelyn stumbled upon Maria while lost, and Maria's blessing unexpectedly cured Ethelyn of a chronic illness she'd suffered for years. Ethelyn brought Maria back to Avalon Ducal Manor, and Maria's arrival filled the lifeless castle with laughter again. With her power, she healed the crippled legs of the third young master, Cyrus, and slowly thawed the frozen heart of Duke Regulus. Yet Maria foresaw a conspiracy against the manor—Regulus would be assassinated, Ethelyn would die a horrible death, Cyrus would be crushed, and the entire manor would be reduced to ashes. How will Maria rewrite it all?
