The Promise

An orphaned girl, driven by poverty at such a young age, makes a promise with an enchantress. In return for beauty and the admiration of every man, she will never be with the man she loves.

Now a grown and beautiful princess, she regrets her promise, for all of the men she's loved has always been met with tragedy.
