Broken Crowns: A Charity Anthology: Princess Noir Compilation
And they lived happily ever after... or did they?
In every life, there is darkness, but there is also a choice. Does the hero break, or are they fueled for the fight? Are they compelled to follow the light, or will the demons that plague them plunge them into shadow forever?
What begins as a fairy tale shifts into grim reality as life moves beyond the moment of true love's first kiss and the villain's defeat. For these princesses, surviving that fight is only the first chapter. Who they become and what they must do beyond their beginnings are what truly define them.
A private detective, a vigilante, a mob boss, and more... These are the fates of the royals in this collection. Gone are the pristine castles and charming princes, replaced with gritty streets and wolves at every turn. There are few pieces left to pick up in the wreckage of disaster, but they are precious when pieces are all that remain of their Broken Crowns.
This collection features stories from authors C. L. Foster, C. M. Lehsten, Kate Seger, Jennifer Rose, A. M. Ialacci, and C. A. Baron. All proceeds from this anthology will benefit Global Fund for Women.
The Global Fund for Women is a global champion for the human rights of women and girls. They use their powerful networks to find, fund, and amplify the courageous work of women who are building social movements and challenging the status quo. By shining a spotlight on critical issues, they rally communities of advocates who take action and invest money to empower women.

About the author
C.L. Foster
37 books250 followersCL is eclectic, geeky, positive, nature-loving and completely non-"normal" (just the way she likes to be). She has been a fan of literature since she was a small child and finally decided to take her dreams (both waking and sleeping!) and do something positive with them.
CL has lived all over the world and has a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, minoring in Psychology and Forensics. Which means you don't want to cross her because she knows how and where to hide a body so it's never found! She proudly admits to hearing voices in her head, but at times, her characters' impromptu visits can be rude and annoying. Thankfully, she has adequate patience for their shenanigans and can out ninja them any day of the week.
CL's voice is boisterous, sassy, and not finished yet! Stay tuned!

I actually didn’t finish this book.
How many ways can you destroy the fairy tale? We know it’s not real, that’s what makes it a fairy tale. The converting to modern day and awful, horrible, destroyed lives; there is reality then there is soap opera level death, betrayal, death, conspiracies, and more death.
I understand this was supposed to be “grim reality” written for a worthy cause. I’ll make my donation and keep the fairy tale.
