Adelinde has spent her entire life dreaming of marrying Bastian, the prince she helped save when she was just a child. But when tragedy strikes and Bastian's brother is slain, he is thrust into the role of heir to the throne, shattering any hope of a union with a simple peasant girl like Adelinde. Now his hand has been promised to the daughter of a powerful witch, and in exchange, the witch promises to destroy the dragon that took his brother's life.
Unwilling to abandon his love for Adelinde, Bastian rejects the witch's daughter-and as punishment, is transformed into a worm. Now, to save her homeland and rescue the prince from his curse, Adelinde must embark on a perilous quest at the witch's behest, uncover the secrets behind the dragon's rampage, and face the threat of the ultimate sacrifice to prove her unwavering love.
The Witch and the Wyrm is a sweet, no-spice retelling of the fairy tale Jorinda and Joringel, a romantic fantasy that weaves a heartwarming story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love.
