In a nutshell:
While Aleyna sleeps her spirit walks the halls of her ruined
castle, seeing only how it used to be, not knowing she is asleep. Prince Darien
and his friends come along to solve the mystery of this haunting beauty and of
the horrors that happened in the once beautiful palace.
What you may enjoy:
A very new and unique twist on the
classic story of sleeping beauty. If you like a light book that spins a new
story from a well-known tale, this is for you. Part fantasy, part romance, part
action. This book is a fun, and quick read; the kind of book you can enjoy in its
simplicity. And don't worry, the series doesn't need to be read in any specific order.
What you may NOT enjoy:
If you are lactose intolerant don’t read this. It is all 5
layers of CHEESY. Love at first
sight, sappy one liners, and a unicorn that fixes everything. And in depth
characters? None. This is not a book for people who want a developed, feast of
a book. Also, be warned, there are plenty of typos.
