Publisher's summary
Cursed by magic, bound by mistakes, Princess Aria finds her destiny hinges on the mysterious Baron Reeves. Will love be enough to break the curse, or will war bring her kingdom to ruin?
When Crown Princess Aria sees her kingdom on the brink of war with the magic-wielding Casters, she takes it upon herself to speak with the Widow Morton, the most dangerous Caster in the realm. If successful, Aria will not only ensure peace but also prove to her father that she is a worthy heir. But when her negotiations fail, Aria is dealt a terrible curse: Over the course of one hundred days, she will be unable to sleep, her body and mind doomed to waste away. And then the curse will pass to her sister, until every member of the king’s line is dead.
Aria’s best hope for breaking her curse is to seek help from another Caster—the handsome and charming Baron Reeves. He may be entitled to a place at the court, but as a magic user, can he truly be trusted? She vows not be fooled by his dimpled smiles or his devotion to his brothers, but as she spends more time with him, she discovers that her heart has other ideas.
Baron has no desire to see the princess suffer—especially since she might be the key to changing the king’s opinion on Casters—but he has secrets to protect and ghosts of his own. The last person he tried to save using his magic died, and he’s not willing to risk harming someone he loves again.
As the curse continues its deadly countdown, both Aria and Baron must risk their lives and their hearts to save each other and unite a kingdom.

Story
May Byam grew up following her father to his work at the ropemaking factory and listening to her uncle’s tales of life aboard a Royal Navy ship. After tragedy and scandal shatter her family, May is desperate to escape the shame that follows her. Despite her mother’s pleadings against it, May signs on as a lady’s maid to the young wife of a naval captain. If she’s going to run, she may as well do it in honor of her late uncle and cousin and where there is food, shelter, and perhaps even adventure. But the frosty reception she receives from the ship’s clergyman makes her feel far from welcome.

Story
Beauty’s life is the stuff of fairy tales. The youngest in her family, Beauty isn’t trying to catch Stephan’s eye. He is the lord baron’s heir, well above her family’s modest station, but when he kisses her hand at a party, Beauty is swept away by his charm, his wit, and his passionate declarations of love. Hearts can be untamable creatures, especially when touched by the fires of first love, and Beauty doesn’t see the truth of Stephan’s intentions until it is too late. Until he stops asking for Beauty’s love—and simply takes it from her one night despite her refusal.

Story
There are three things high school senior Emmy Crawford will accomplish, no matter what: 1. Taking Nationals in debate this season. 2. Shielding her sister, Issy, from anything that could hurt her, especially her anxiety. 3. Representing her family well, since her mom may be the next president. And nothing can get in Emmy's way. Not Crohn’s disease, even if her gut has been acting up. Not the paparazzi, who snap any photos they can get of the daughters of a presidential candidate. And definitely not her feelings for Gabe Castillo, the only debater in DC who stands a chance at beating her.

Keep your eyes down and your feet moving, or this planet will rust you. That’s what Lunar Jones tells the other kids at the relocation clinic.

After all, their ancestors descended from the stars. Martian history always starts with Earth. The first astronauts discovered that space was already occupied.

Amazing Storytelling
I snagged the audio as quick as I could because I wanted to get this story read, but it was SO good I kept going to my physical book to reread and mark it up like crazy! The Audio was crazy amazing! I have so many tabs in this book! This story took me by surprise and I LOVED every minute and didn’t want this story to end!
The story took me on an adventure like no other and the Sleeping Beauty Vibes were done so well and so different. I loved the magic elements and the cause for change! I just can’t get over this story!
Princess Aria has never felt she measured up to her father’s expectations: Perfection. She constantly marks her downfalls and seeks his approval. But after some alarming happenings she finds she can’t stand by. Aria seeks to bring Peace and in so doing trusts the wrong person and winds up cursed.
Guillaume Reeves, known as Baron (and I love the reason he goes by Baron). As a magic user he has always been feared and been dealt with unfairly. Luckily he is proud of who he is and he carries a huge weight with the secrets he keeps and his own feelings of inability to make a difference when it counts.
This story is filled with: A curse with a deadly countdown, Sweet Letters, Magic and Shapeshifters, Unexpected Revelations, Standing Up For What’s Right, Learning To Admit Faults or Mistakes, The Most Sweetest Twins, The Best Slow Burn Romance, Death and Revenge, Daring Rescues, Heartfelt and Hopeful moments, and Crippling Grief
Favorite Quote: “Baron,” she whispered. “Kiss me.”
