But the longer Rosamund lives in the real world, the more questions she has. Does anyone ever graduate from the HEA? Why doesn't anyone seem to remember the former students? Is the kindly fairy headmistress all she appears to be? Is anyone? And the most important question of all: Can Rosamund change her story?
