Disney Villains Series by Serena Valentino
Author Serena Valentino pens the “Disney Villains” series of young adult fantasy novels. The series began publication in the year 2009, when “Fairest of All” was released.

“Fairest of All” is the first novel in the “Disney Villains” series and was released in the year 2009. The tale about the young princess and her evil stepmom, The Wicked Queen, is well known. Despite some variations in different tellings, the tale stays the same. The Queen’s jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminates in the Queen’s attempt on this naive and sweet girl’s life.

Another story that is much less spoken about is the one that explains just what caused the Queen to become so contemptuously vile. Still, a few people have tried guessing the reason. Possibly the Queen’s real nature was one of a wicked hag and her regal and beautiful appearance was just a disguise to trick the King.

Others claim that the Queen may have detested the girl for how she resembled the King’s first wife. Mainly, the Queen’s painted a morally abhorrent woman that never loved any other being during the course of her rather miserable life.

In fact, theories about what precisely caused the Queen’s obsessive vanity and her jealous rage are too many to even catalog. The book recounts a version of the tale that has remained untold til now. This is a tragic story of loss and love. It contains just a bit of magic. This is a tale of the Wicked Queen.

“Poor Unfortunate Soul” is the third novel in the “Disney Villains” series and was released in the year 2016. The story of the sea king’s child Ariel is a beloved one about losing, then finding, one’s own voice.

The story’s been told and retold in all kinds of ways. The mergirl always wants more than her own world is able to offer. And her dad demands that she lives within the confines of his domain. Ariel’s rebelliousness costs the tiny mermaid her own voice and almost her soul, too. The power of good is able to prevail, and Ariel is able to emerge unchanged and proud.

This is just part of the story. What about Ursula, the sea witch and Ariel’s foe? What led to her becoming so scorned, twisted, and filled with such hatred? Many stories have attempted to explain her motives. Here is an account of what could’ve shaped this sea witch into a poor unfortunate soul.

Even though her three good fairies attempt protecting her, the princess succumbs to this curse. The power of good still endures, while her true love defeats the fire-breathing dragon and, with true love’s first kiss. After, the two live happily ever after.

Yet this is just half of the tale. What of the dark fairy, Maleficent? Why does she even curse this innocent princess? What led her to become so filled with anger, hatred, and malice? Many stories have attempted explaining her motives. Here is an account that’s been pulled down out of the many that have passed down through the ages.
