What if you could have unlimited power, riches, and a whole kingdom OR could turn back time 90 years and be youthful again?

What if there was a giant flea… the size of a sheep? What if this oversized flea’s gruesome death set off an even darker chain of events that lead to a royal family rift, a princess forced to marry a monster, and then try to escape him with the aid of 7 questionably super-powered giants? Would that be a butter-flea effect, or just a very twisted old tale? Friends and fiends, summon your familiars,...

This tale is more sinister even than that candy-coated nightmare, and it really makes you question who is the monster after all? The hungry Ogres? The negligent parents? OR… the poor “innocent” children themselves? Does it all work out in the end...
