What if Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on purpose?
Princess
Aurelia’s kingdom is plagued by the Eternal Slumber, a disease
progressively ensnaring the minds of her subjects. After Aurelia wishes
for the means to revive her brother, her sinister fairy godmother
presents an ominous solution: Aurelia must stab herself with a poisoned
spindle.
Accepting this fate plunges Aurelia into a nightmare
where victims of the Eternal Slumber are being held hostage by a dark
djinni. However, Aurelia’s brother isn’t the only familiar face she
finds herself reunited with; Everett, the love of her life who
mysteriously disappeared years ago, is there as well. As the djinni’s
power grows, Aurelia must decide who to save before the djinni escapes
and enters the waking world.
Failing on her quest could trap her
in the dream world forever. Will she forgo her chance at a happily ever
after and protect her brother, or will she choose to rescue herself and
the man she loves?
No matter who she chooses, someone will be doomed to remain in the nightmare that never ends.
My Review: 5 STARS
I picked this up because the blurb and cover drew me in. I loved the idea of Sleeping Beauty but with a differing twist to it and before long I was completely immersed in the story and the world. At first I was a little concerned with it being the fourth in a series that I would have missed important things, but it seems to have been standalone in that. Overall I loved the plot, the characters, the many twists and turns along the way and that final reveal left me reeling. An amazingly, beautifully crafted work and one that I very much recommend!
