What happens when nothing goes according to plan in a fairytale?
Once-Upon-Thyme is a quirky fairytale retelling featuring a drunk fairy godmother, a princess seeking a dragon, and the meddling stablehand trying to stop her.
If you're a fan of quirky characters, found family, fun yet heart-warming stories, slow burn and clean romance, all with cozy vibes and, of course, a dragon, then you will love this fairytale retelling - at its heart, a story about finding your place in the world even when you don't fit the norm.
This audiobook is narrated using ElevenLabs, featuring an AI-generated voice based on a professional voice actor's recordings. The voice actor has licensed their vocal characteristics for this purpose and is paid for the use of their voice.

It's not easy being a princess, especially when your fairytale life refuses to follow the script.
Adrianna grapples with many problems. Her evil stepmother is too obsessed with her garden to remember being evil, her evil stepsister is adorable and dear to Adrianna’s heart, and if that wasn’t bad enough, her fairy godmother spends her days drinking, eating chocolate, and flirting with the gardener.
And just when Adrianna thinks her life couldn't get any more absurd, enter Prince Charming—who inexplicably proposes to her stepmother.
Adrianna decides that enough is enough—she's quitting the life of a princess altogether. Except that escaping a fairytale isn’t as easy as she thought, and to preserve her home and her family, she needs to somehow blunder her way to a Happy Ever After. Meaning a prince has to rescue her and propose marriage.
So, accompanied by her tipsy fairy godmother and a distractingly handsome (annoyingly so) stablehand, she sets her sights on a formidable task – finding a dragon, in the hopes this will convince a prince to perform the required rescue and marriage proposal.
Once-Upon-Thyme is a wonderfully twisted take on the classic fairytale formula, full of misfit characters, unexpected twists, and all about the importance of embracing life's beautiful imperfections.
After all, even the most imperfect stories can lead to the most satisfying endings.
