Jump in A king makes a terrifying promise. He already has twelve strong sons, but his wife is expecting a thirteenth child. He declares that if the baby is a girl, all twelve boys must be put to death so his daughter can inherit all the wealth. Warned by their heartbroken mother, the twelve brothers escape deep into a dark, enchanted forest to survive on their own. Why it pulls you in Ten years later, the young princess discovers she has brothers she never knew. She bravely sets out into the wild woods to find them. The reunion is joyful, but a terrible accident with a magical flower instantly transforms all twelve of her brothers into black ravens, and they fly away. What you will discover To break this massive curse and turn the ravens back into princes, the princess must make an impossible sacrifice. She must spend seven whole years without speaking a single word or laughing a single time. Even when a young king falls in love with her and her own life is in danger, she must remain totally silent.
