From a beloved fantasy author comes this fresh feminist retelling of Sleeping Beauty about one girl destined for greatness - and the powerful sister ready to protect her by any means necessary.
Miriam may be the daughter of Queen Alethia of Tirendell, but she's not a princess. She's the child of Alethia and her previous husband, the King's Champion, who died fighting for the king, and she has no ambitions to rule. When her new baby sister, Aurora, heir to the throne, is born, she's ecstatic. She adores the baby, who seems perfect in every way. But on the day of Aurora's christening, an uninvited Dark Fae arrives, prepared to curse her, and Miriam discovers she possesses impossible power.
Soon, Miriam is charged with being trained in both magic and combat to act as chief protector to her sister. But shadowy threats are moving closer and closer to their kingdom, and Miriam's dark power may not be enough to save everyone she loves, let alone herself.

This felt like a return to the Five Hundred Kingdoms to me, though it is not, yet just as good, even better. I highly recommend this for all ages as a well-written and conceived fairy tale/fantasy. No flaws. Superb narration!
Skillfully conceived story and world, enjoyable

She suffers, as do all heroines and heros of such stories, from adults who classify her by age. Miriam makes mistakes and finds the right approach to problems that jaded adult eyes and ears cannot see or hear.
This old male delighted in the story and hopesp to read more about Miriam and her quest
