Sinopse

In "Sheer Off: A Tale," A. L. O. E. weaves a captivating narrative that reflects the societal upheavals of the 19th century, particularly the themes of personal sacrifice and moral integrity. Departing from conventional storytelling, A. L. O. E. employs a rich, allegorical style infused with vivid imagery that invites readers to ponder deeper ethical dilemmas. The book serves as a critique of superficiality and materialism, urging readers to 'sheer off' the societal veneers that obscure true character and virtue. The author, A. L. O. E. (the pseudonym of Charlotte Maria Tucker), was a prominent figure in children's literature and a proponent of moral education. Drawing from her experiences navigating Victorian society, which was rife with class distinctions and gender expectations, she sought to impart lessons on resilience and virtue through her children's stories. Her rich background as a writer, educator, and social reformer profoundly influenced her narrative choices and thematic concerns in this tale. I highly recommend "Sheer Off: A Tale" for those interested in 19th-century literature that challenges societal norms. A. L. O. E.'s nuanced storytelling not only entertains but also educates, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to explore the intricate interplay of morality and societal expectations.

    Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You think you know those guys pretty well by now, don't you? Well, think again. Posters plastered across the thirteen kingdoms are saying that Briar Rose has been murdered—and the four Princes Charming are the prime suspects.  
     
    Now they're on the run in a desperate attempt to clear their names. Along the way, however, they discover that Briar's murder is just one part of a nefarious plot to take control of all thirteen kingdoms—a plot that will lead to the doorstep of an eerily familiar fortress for a final showdown with an eerily familiar enemy.
