Once upon a time…
Isn’t that how love stories begin?
Not this time. This is not a love story.
This is the untold story of Sleeping Beauty and how Princess Arianna of Graeline was conceived out of darkness and lies.
Born into a kingdom on the brink of disaster, she remains hidden away from the world as protection against a vengeful curse.
A love curse.
Malevolence has invaded the land of mystery, and the dark mage has decided it’s time to collect on her favor. The price…
The princess.
Until the king calls for a savior. Or two?
Asher “Apollo” McCall and Matthew “Ares” Norbury have worked countless missions together. Named after the Greek gods they resembled, they were considered the biggest and baddest until tragedy struck. Their team was slaughtered and they were left for dead.
Neither man ever foresaw a life of peace, but gazing into the eyes of the young, defiant princess for the first time, they catch a glimpse of what could become their world.
How far will they go to make the enigmatic royal theirs?
Kidnapping.
Torture.
Imprisonment.
Can these two “princes” beat the odds, save the princess, and live happily ever after?
Or is Arianna destined to die, imprisoned by a curse out of control?

My Thoughts <3
Talk about a VERY loose Sleeping Beauty retelling. It is not your normal retelling or even romance. There is no Prince Charming, just 2 complete opposites. The author takes this book and makes it her own and I enjoyed it. though I could not connect fully with the author, I liked how the book played out with the dark and “sinister” themes. There were a few unexpected twists and turns and that just made it even more fun.
All in all the book was a dark retelling on an old classic. It was an enjoyable read with a twist. I give it a 4 outta 5 stars!
PS: Thank you to KL Donn and Enticing Journey Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly.
