This book can be read as a standalone. Aurora Rose Brynhild is out of time. For eighteen years she’s been allowed to live as a free woman in anticipation of a century long slumber. Now, the dark sorceress of Dracon is coming for her, and she doesn’t like to lose. But Aurora is ready. She has nothing, no one to miss. Until him. When she finds the Belaen prince wounded in the forest, she takes him home, wanting to do one good thing before the curse takes her, needing to save his life. As she heals the prince, she comes to know fear for the first time in her life. Because now, when the slumber comes for her, she has something to leave behind. Prince Phillip Basile never gives up. The “General Prince” as they call him, is used to battling for everything he has. And now, he will fight for her. Aurora tells him she can’t stay, that there’s no way to break her curse. But he will do anything to prove her wrong, to save her no matter the cost. Inspired by the Sleeping Beauty story, this is the cursed princess as you’ve never seen her before.
