Does true love break curses or begin them? The dark sorceress of “Sleeping Beauty” reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice.

“Fans of reimagined fairy tales and LGBTQ+ themes will be delighted with the conclusion of this fantasy duology.”—Booklist (starred review)

The Dark Grace is dead.

Feared and despised for the sinister power in her veins, Alyce wreaks her revenge on the kingdom that made her an outcast. Once a realm of decadence and beauty, Briar is now wholly Alyce’s wicked domain. And no one will escape the consequences of her wrath. Not even the one person who holds her heart.

Princess Aurora saw through Alyce’s thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But it is a love that came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce’s vast power cannot seem to break. And the dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.

Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means turning into the monster Briar believes her to be. But could Aurora love the villain Alyce has become?

Or is true love only for fairy tales?

This book was great. I loved the character development and story. A much more realistic ending to a love story plagued by that many issues as Aurora and Alice had. Although, I could have heard “Dragons teeth” about 500 times less than I did.

Great conclusion to a great series.

From start to finish, this one grabbed me. I was hooked. It was a nonstop anxiety inducing nailbiter. Great time!

Such a great story, the emotions are absolutely captivating. I think the epilogue ended this beautifully. It’s stories like these that make me yearn for more. They make me want to see the happily ever after after that.

It’s a happy ending when you know what healthy boundaries are like
