A book series by Jim C. Hines. In short, it's the Disney Princesses meets Charlie's Angels with Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty as the main characters.It begins a few months after Cinderella (called Danielle in this version) has gotten married. She is adjusting to palace life when one of her stepsisters comes to see her. One magic-fueled assassination attempt later and Danielle has to deal not only with the fact that her stepsisters seem to know magic but that they have also kidnapped her husband Prince Armand. The only reason Danielle is still alive is because of the help of a fierce warrior woman called Talia, better known as Sleeping Beauty. She takes Danielle to see Queen Beatrice (Bea to her friends) who reveals that she runs the kingdom's spy service and introduces the princess to her other top agent, a master of mirror magic, Snow (as in White). Danielle must now team up with her fellow princesses to save the prince and stop her stepsisters.Each book tells the further adventures of Danielle, Talia, and Snow. A major subversion of the classic princess tales since it’s the princesses who go out and save the day. The main characters' stories are well known in universe too. However, the versions circulated in rumor (the Disney versions) leave out or ignore major, often dark details (the Brothers Grimm versions). The princesses meet other well known characters like The Little Mermaid and Little Red Riding Hood.Novels The Stepsister Scheme The Mermaid's Madness Red Hood's Revenge The Snow Queen's Shadow | |

Daddy's Girl | |
| The Princess Series / int_19fe3478 | comment |
Daddy's Girl: The first thing Snow does when she arrives in Allesandria is to kill the wizard that made the poison that killed her father. He offered to help her get the throne and she refused him saying that she loved her father. And she was almost completely under Demonic Possession by then. Danielle also was very close to her father. It is hinted it was one of the reasons for her stepmother's hatred toward her. | |

Curse Escape Clause | |
| The Princess Series / int_275773bd | comment |
Curse Escape Clause: True Love's Kiss is known to break some otherwise very powerful curses (Even when it's the "kiss" of a blade containing the spirit of a mother that truly loves you). The series later explains that curse loopholes are due to factors of leverage and possibility; a truly unbreakable spell would require an enormous amounts of power, but true love is rare enough that it's functionally the same as an unbreakable curse. Which also implies that people only hear about the notable cases — the rare ones that have been broken. A very dark example for Talia: She could only be awoken by the future king of the realm. The birth of her twin sons finally broke the curse in the worst way possible. | |

Parental Abandonment: Talia herself has done this, as her offspring were the products of rape while she slept. Her rapist sent them to a temple somewhere, and never told Talia where. We finally meet them in Red Hood's Revenge. Mahatal is furious at her for killing their father, but Mutal admits that he could be wrong about her. | |

Downer Ending: The end of The Mermaid's Madness. The princesses discover that the mermaid princess Lirea, who attacked the Queen with a magic soul sucking knife and is trying to start a war between merpeople and humans, is not the real villain of the story. She has been under the influence of a spell cast by her grandmother Morveren that is slowly driving her mad. Morveren is killed and the spell broken but the experience left her mind shattered. In the end, she was confined to a tower by the sea with only the occasional visit from her sister to help her recover. As a result of the attack Queen Bea now only has a little over a year to live. They stopped the war but that's about the only good to come from this. | |

Foreshadowing: In The Stepsister Scheme, Queen Rose's ghost removed Talia's fairy gifts while possessing Stacia, all but crippling her. Despite Talia having been used to them pretty much all her life, one would think it would have brought her down to normal instead. But two books later in "Red Hood's Revenge", we learn that Talia was born weak and sickly, and the fairies' gifts effectively saved her life. | |

Accidental Marriage | |
| The Princess Series / int_af921409 | comment |
Accidental Marriage: Actually accidental near-engagement. Varisto gave Talia a sword that Snow recognizes as a betrothal proposal in Hilad. Luckily for Talia, Varisto learns that she is pledged to Queen Beatrice and unable to take other obligations. Snow found it hilarious. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| The Princess Series / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: How the Duchess got out of her execution (asking to see one last sunrise before she died and then fleeing underground where she could not see the sun) and how she planned on taking Jakob for herself (agreeing to returning him for six months of every year until he became an adult, though time passes differently in Fairytown). Danielle returns the favor by marrying Jakob to Gerta, therefore making him an adult by Lorindar law, and exposing her to that last sunrise. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| The Princess Series / int_b7920c43 | comment |
Lost in Translation: An In-Universe example. Sleeping Beauty was knocked out by a zaraq, a whip-like weapon with what looks like a spinning wheel's spindle attached to one end. When her tale was translated, the writers didn't know what it was, and just decided to say it was a spindle based on the picture. | |

| The Princess Series / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: The Duchess is notorious for her ability to manipulate others, having tricked the King and Queen of Fairytown into a situation where both of them are obliged to leave her alone even after she tried to kill them. She attempts to trick Danielle in a similar manner, but Danielle and the others are able to turn the tables on the Duchess and deliver her to the King and Queen. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Danielle's glass sword; the final gift from her mother's spirit, the only thing it can't cut through is Danielle's own flesh (determined when someone attempts to use the weapon against her), even after it shatters rather than harm her and Snow has to help Danielle repair it. | |

| The Princess Series / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: The crew of the Philippa when the princesses get transformed in the third book. Talia sometimes gets distracted by Snow's sexy. May also apply to when Snow, Danielle, and Talia are shapeshifted into mermaids and have to swim through a mermaid tribe in the midst of their spawning. This is more due to Lirea's royal pheromones than attractive undines, though. | |

Incredibly Lame Pun: Snow likes to throw these out.

When questioned later, she commented that she wanted him to know what it felt like to be a peon. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| The Princess Series / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Since all of the princesses of The Princesses Series are based mostly on the Brothers Grimm version they all have this, though some more than others. Cinderella's mother died when she was very young. Her father dies when she is ten of a long and painful illness. She then becomes a virtual slave to her stepmother and stepsister who abuse her physically and mentally. She becomes a prisoner in her own home with mice and birds being her only true friends. And then they set off the plot of the first book in revenge.... Snow White’s mother was a vain, power hungry witch who never cared about her daughter. She wanted to take over Snow’s body, and when that plan failed she tried to have Snow killed. After tracking her daughter down she killed Snow’s love in front of her eyes. After Snow kills her mother, her country falls into civil war and she is forced to flee lest she be executed for regicide. Sleeping Beauty and the entire royal family were cursed to sleep. In their absence, the kingdom descends into civil war. The winning faction takes the throne and murders the sleeping royal family so they can't challenge the new rulers. Beauty is raped in her sleep and wakes from the pain of childbirth. Forced to marry her rapist, she murders him on the wedding night and flees for her life, leaving their twin sons behind. | |
