Lil is an old woman who spends her days shelving rare books in a tiny Manhattan bookstore and lonely nights at home in her apartment. But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked and bound behind her back are white feathery wings-the only key to who she once was: the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with her Prince Charming. But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world. But then one day she meets Veronica-a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with the wrong men-and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she’s been given a chance at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may right her wrong and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for. Available Now! Click here for more information.

A three-year-old boy was removed from a building in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn Friday afternoon. Despite efforts by EMS workers, the toddler was declared dead at Interfaith Hospital in Brooklyn. The cause of death has yet to be determined, but the young boy displayed evidence of being sexually assaulted and exhibited cigarette burns on his body. Police told neighbors that Kyle may have suffered a broken pelvis. The Daily News reports that the boy also had a broken leg and appears to have been sodomized with a wooden stick.
