You all know the story of Rumpelstiltskin, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later...
Vale hasn’t been the same for Princess Eliana since her husband passed away. Now, left grieving and pregnant, she finds solace in the peaceful meadows surrounding her castle, taking comfort in the presence of the wild unicorns who make the meadow their home.
But Eliana’s fragile peace is splintering…
Something is out to get the unicorns. Something that has Eliana’s mother, the Queen, going into overprotective overdrive as Eliana prepares to bring new life into the world. But Eliana refuses to hunker down in the palace like a coward.
With her childhood friend Jay at her side, can Eliana protect the unicorns and find who--or what--is hunting them?
Or will the safety of the meadows be jeopardized forever?
Following famous fairytale characters, eighteen years after their happily ever after, the Kingdom of Fairytales offers an edge of the seat thrill ride in an all new and sensational way to read.
Lighting-fast reads you won’t be able to put down
Fantasy has never been so epic!

Love this series! This one is simply captivating! Love the unicorns and the characters! Can't wait to start next book!
Eliana, Lia for short, is highly pregnant. She has had a very restricted childhood, very stifling and over-protected, and she wants a different life for her baby. And she’s good with the shy unicorns! Oh my goodness, I want a unicorn now! I loved the unicorns! But someone is out to get the unicorns. It was almost too much to bear when a unicorn got hurt! Eliana will do everything in her power to protect them. A good start to the Rumpelstiltskin retelling!
I have been following along with this series since January and am loving them. Something new to look forward to each week. Another great set based on Rumpelstiltskin. This fairy tale is only vaguely known by me so it was a fun read finding out more about a lesser known fairy tale with a new twist. <3
J.A. Armitage’s Kingdom of Fairytales multi-series concept is really an ideal template - what happens after the “happily ever after” in classic fairytales - for multiple series, and she’s certainly taken advantage of it in multiple series either written by herself or co-authored with others. That’s certainly the case with the Kingdom of Fairytales: Rumpelstiltskin she’s coauthored with Jennifer Ellison. I’ve not read anything by the latter author previously but that’s one of the beauties of this over-arching multi-series collection: it introduces me to new authors with a sort of quality seal as I can trust that Armitage will choose her co-authors well. She absolutely did this time as each of the books in this series, Queen of Unicorns (Book 1), Heiress of Gold (Book 2), Throne of Sacrifice (Book 3) and Goddess of Loss (Book 4) was superbly written and the overarching story arc is perfect. Taking place 18 years after the end of the classic tale, Rumpelstiltskin is back in the Vale, unicorns are being hunted down and the heroine here, Eliana, is seemingly facing insurmountable odds. Ehss as t follows over the course of these four books is a really wonderful and exciting tale that’s easy to highly recommend and definitely makes me want to find more books by the co-author here (I’m already addicted to Armitage so reading her books is a given). One caveat: I’ve reviewed these all at once as this series really is best read from Book 1 on, though that’s actually easy to do as each is fast to read.
