Being asleep for a hundred years wasn't the bad part of my story. Not even waking up to find out that everybody I once knew and loved was gone... dead. Turned into dust and spiderwebs. The worst part of the sleeping curse was awakening to find my royal gown in tatters; my body battered, bloodied, and abused. Many would have thought that I would cower in a remote dark corner of my kingdom, hoping the evil fairy would never find me. But underestimating me is a big mistake. I'm not one to cry over spilled milk. Well, in my case, spilled blood. Now that I have awoken, I will get my revenge on the one who took everything from me; the one who dared to defile my body. Follow Princess Oriana of House Briar Rose on her quest for revenge. Submerge yourself in the realm of royalty, magic, revenge and love. This is the retelling of Sleeping Beauty as you have never read before. Author's note: This is a dark fantasy romance with explicit content, dark elements, including mature language and violence.
