Once upon a time, there was a wicked sorceress who cursed a line of princesses to die—a curse unbreakable but for true love’s kiss. It’s an age-old tale recited by every cribeside. But this time, without the Prince Charming or happily-ever-after. Princess Aurora is the realm’s endmost heir. And still without her curse-breaking kiss, she has less than a year to live. But no one in Briar seems to care. Amused more with their amulets, potions, and parties, Aurora will not waste another attempt on a pair of vapid, uninspired prince lips. But perhaps the answer lies with Alyce the Dark Grace, Briar’s hex-bottling exile. But she is a villanelle and Aurora a storybook princess. It can’t possibly work…right?
