Ewebeeld
Lanie besef sy is haar wettige man se gevangene en dat sy vorige twee vroue dit voor hulle dood ook was.
Haar man se afskuwelike plan met haar en die glaskunstenaar wat opdaag, word ook duidelik.
“Vroue soos jy lok bliksems aan. Want bliksems soek iets wat mooi en suiwer is, besmet dit en uiteindelik vernietig hulle dit omdat hulle nie die kontras met hulle eie veragtelikheid kan verduur nie. Jy maak asof jy tough is, Lanie, maar eintlik is jy ʼn prinses op soek na ʼn sprokie.”
Hierdie woorde van haar vriendin, Evette, blyk profeties te wees, maar dit besef Lanie du Toit te laat – eers toe dit tot haar deurdring dat sy reeds gedoem is vanaf die dag toe haar chromosome hulle lê gekry het in ʼn minder unieke patroon as meeste mense sʼn.
Dis ook toe eers dat sy agterkom die sprokie waarin sy haar bevind, het niks met Aspoestertjie te doen nie, maar alles met Bloubaard en Rapunzel. En vir Lanie ontbreek die vooruitsig op ʼn sprokieseinde.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
