A Goose Girl
As a royal lady's maid, Rynn has one task: Escort the princess of Astoria to her intended's kingdom and return home. Unfortunately for the former goose girl, the princess has other plans.
When her charge flees, Rynn's not only forced to take the princess's place, but she must also contend with a spiteful fairy horse, a good dose of political intrigue, and Conrad...the mysterious and all-too observant lord who consumes more of her thoughts than he should.
But with war looming on the horizon, Rynn stands to lose more than her heart. Can she convince the princess to return, end the charade, and make peace between the kingdoms?
More importantly, can she possibly avoid a death sentence when the truth is revealed?
A Goose Girl is a romantic fairy tale novella. It can be read on its own but is more fun when read as a part of the Entwined Tales, a series of interconnected fairy tales by six different authors. Each story follows the adventures of one of seven children from the same family as they seek out their own happily ever afters in spite of their reluctant fairy-godfather.

Reviews and Comments
This was a very good Retelling of Goose Girl and I enjoyed all the different characters as well as the occasional references to other fairy tales. Falada was really entertaining and I liked how him and Rynn slowly became friends. The epilogue was really nice and tied things together well. This was my first book by K.M. Shea and I plan to read more of her books as well as more of the books in this series in the future.
