[Author’s Name] has created a magnificent story that goes as follows: The King and Queen of a kingdom do not invite a “bad fairy” (19) to the celebration of the King and Queen’s first child, Princess Briar Rose. So the fairy, dressed in “big black boots” (19), casts “a great dark mist” (211) of death over the entire kingdom in retribution.

How’s that?

Not sure what the (19) and (211) references are about, but if you exclude them, the only change I would suggest is to use “failed to invite her” instead of ‘did not invite her’.

It’s a little long, but there is nothing wrong with it. It’s okay for a sentence to be somewhat lengthy – take a look at university texts where you find PAGE-LONG sentences!! Most people are accustomed to the ‘easy-read’ short sentences in newspapers and magazines, but long sentences are valid too.
