Once Upon a Murder

Once upon a time, there was a faraway land called the Enchanted Realm.  The people of the land got along harmoniously for many centuries...that is, until Queen Black gained control of the Silver Tree Forest.

It was not long before happy endings turned into nightmares, as the ruling Kingdom of Gullyshire suffered repeated attacks, and the villains began to gain control. The mystic mountains filled with nefarious monsters and were no longer safe, and wicked witches took over the charmed forest.

Queen Black has shocked the realm and has invited all of the territories to the Dark Castle of the Silver Tree Forest to sign a peace treaty.

She may have evil intentions. 

Nonetheless, you have been invited by Queen Black.  This is where your story begins.

we've done some shoppin' for ya
