THE AMARANTH ENCHANTMENT is about a girl named Lucinda, whose parents left for the royal ball and never returned, when she was five years old. Ever since, Lucinda has been stuck in perpetual servitude at her evil aunt’s jewelry store. Then, on the very same day, a mysterious visitor and an even more bizarre piece of jewelry enter the shop, setting in motion a string of twists and turns that will forever alter Lucinda’s path. In this magical story filled with delightful surprises, Lucinda will dance at the royal ball, fall under the Amaranth Witch’s spell, discover the cause of her parents’ death, and possibly capture the heart of a prince.
