This is Kell again.

Since you were all helpful beyond words (I mean it, seriously. I'm not being sarcastic here) with my previous request, I have one more.

I was able to find a mage who would produce my books, and she won't charge me all of my worldly possessions for it. However, I have encountered two problems.

Problem number one,
I must tell her how many copies I want her to make. Which would be easy to answer if I could just have made as many as fits in the amount of money I have. Thing is, I don't want to spend everything only to end with a box of books sitting under my bed and gathering dust.
I was talking to one of the bookshops, and they asked me how many people I expect to buy it. I had no idea what to tell them. So what do you think?

Problem number two,
I had to take out one of the stories. The reasons behind are quite sensitive and complicated, but I decided not to publish it. Which means I now have four and am one story short of a whole book. Here are the ones that I have:

1. Two werewolves from packs divided by a generational feud try to make things work for them in spite of their families being mortal enemies.

2. A noble lady getting invited to a Fey masquerade ball and meeting a handsome lord in a rose maze who steals her heart. Only that after the ball ends, she still doesn't know who he is and how to find him. She tries nevertheless.

3. A young magical researcher of untold wisdom and beauty, who on one of her research trips gets lost in a dark forest and finds an injured being she thinks to be a minor spirit of nature. The spirit turns out to be an exiled queen of her own realm that fled from her traitorous sister, who gravely injured her.

4. A young prince turned into a frog by a jealous princess who he was supposed to marry but turned down because he did not love her. Saved by a mysterious assassin sent by his own parents, who think their son is dead and the frog-headed monster is terrorizing their country.

Any ideas what should go as the last one? I'm aiming for a consistent theme here, though I'm not sure if I'm getting it through.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kell.

Let me know when it's for sale.

You're so lucky I care enough to spend my hard earned money on you.

I am touched. You're so nice, I might even give you a discount.

[Kell has already reserved a few copies for his friends and family, but he wants it to be a surprise. A lot of people helped him pull this project off. Wilhelm might not know, but he is one of them.]
