A 2011 retelling of the Fairy Tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, by Heather Dixon.The Queen of Eathesbury dies giving birth to her twelfth daughter, leaving the royal family distraught. As tradition dictates, they’re to spend the next year in mourning. This includes no dancing, which happens to be the princesses favorite past time. To make matters worse, at the time the girls need their father most, the King is pushing them away, leaving them feeling trapped and betrayed.One night Azalea, the eldest, discovers a secret passage in their bedroom fireplace that leads to an enchanted pavilion. The owner, who was magically imprisoned within the castle walls hundreds of years ago, known only as The Keeper, invites them to dance there every night to their hearts content till mourning is over. But the Keeper isn’t doing it out of the goodness of his heart. He wants to be free, and he's determined to make sure Azalea breaks the enchantment holding him there... | |

Magically-Binding Contract | |
| Entwined / int_4353c4b7 | comment |
Magically-Binding Contract: There's an old magic known as “swearing on silver” in which you swear on something silver, making your promise unbreakable. Azalea discovers it after her mother makes her swear on a silver handkerchief to protect her sisters. The girls use it to make sure they can never tell the King where they're dancing at night, which eventually comes back to bite them. | |

Glamour: It's implied that Keeper is putting one on. When the girls find a portrait of the High King in the attic he looks old and corpse-like, which is what Keeper reverts to after his blood oath is fulfilled. The entire pavilion. When Keeper no longer has need of it, it returns to being a storage room. | |

| Entwined / int_88cee6e2 | comment |
Abhorrent Admirer: The Keeper seems really fixated on Azalea. It's not his looks that make him repulsive though (definitely not) but his empty eyes, his creepy attitude, and Azalea’s growing awareness that he's got ulterior motives. A few of the suitors. Viscount Duquette is noted as being handsome, but insufferable and ruthless in his pursuit of Clover. Mr Penbrook's eagerness and obliviousness to Azalea’s lack of interest completely put her off. | |

Foreshadowing: Rampant. Eathesbury's violent history involving Harold the First killing the High King is frequently talked about, making it not all that surprising when the Big Bad is the High King himself. Also, anything involving silver. “Wraith cloaks” are briefly mentioned when talking about how the kingdom used to be full of magic. Guess what Lord Bradford uses to find out where the girls are going at night. | |
