description: Cruelty, once an evil fairy and now working in fast food, comes home one day to find the lazy, drooling King of Cats on her doorstep. Worse, he comes bearing news Cruelty would be happier not hearing: Sleeping Beauty has gotten tired of lying around and is trying to save the world Cruelty left long ago.  Any respectable Archetype knows it's a waste of time; their chances of survival are much better if they can hide in the human world. But since nobody sent her an invitation to the world-saving, she's pretty much required to interfere.  Sparks fly in more ways that one in this F/F urban fantasy as Sleeping Beauty and the Evil Fairy try to put aside their differences in order to try to save the world of Archetypes.
