[Beyond Ever After 01] • The Real Folktale Blues

Gnidori has not always been a bounty hunter; in fact her first job was as a

simple delivery girl wearing her trademark hooded red cloak. However, after

her choice surrender of her former position as a Faerie Godmother, she was

left with a young girl she had very nearly married to Prince Charming, and an

entirely new life filled with simple quietness. That is, after she sealed away

her magical talents. Why was her magic sealed away? Well, as she would put it:

nothing is ever simple when magic is involved.

Years with her magic stripped from her, and Gnidori is drawn into a plot

spurred on by Prince Charming once more. She finds herself seeking the Big Bad

Wolf, who has returned from death and comes to realize there is more to what

is going on than she was told. Before long she encounters a tower fuming

yellow smoke and a baby fox born from a human heart.

But that's only the beginning. Can Gnidori survive pirates, faeries, dragons,

mirror spirits, time spells, gnomes; and even the most sinister of all:

Bluebeard's Tower? And all without access to her magic?... or maybe she does

have it?

Beyond Ever After is a series following the chronicles of Red Riding Hood with

countless other Faerie and Folktale characters long after or even before their

happily ever after. This is not a faerie tale retelling; it asks the great

question: What happens beyond the happily ever after?
