A Curse for True Love

Evangeline is unable to remember anything about the last year of her life, except that there is something she must tell someone. Apollo, the prince claiming to be her husband, reassures her she is safe with him. He explains that the wicked Lord Jacks, Prince of Hearts, stole her memories and poisoned Apollo, but Apollo is back from the dead, for which the entire kingdom is in celebration. Apollo reveals a tattoo over his heart with Evangeline’s name and promises her he will keep her safe.

Apollo orders Jacks to be captured and leaves Evangeline in the care of her maids while he tends to important business. Though Evangeline can’t remember anything, she is amazed by the lush beauty of Apollo’s castle, which seems familiar somehow. As the maids help Evangeline dress in a gown fit for a princess, Evangeline remarks that Apollo has thought of everything. One of the maids replies that he tries, but her hesitation makes Evangeline wonder about him.
