   Summary

   "Back to when I was young. Stupid, innocent... and free."

   That was all Regina wanted. Instead, she finds herself trapped in her eighteen-year-old body, forced to relive the nightmare of her forced betrothal to King Leopold. She is powerless, magic-less, and utterly alone. Until Emma Swan kicks the grand doors of the royal hall open.

   Emma isn't about to let the woman she secretly loves become a victim again.
