Bronwyn Kinsley, an artist yearning for a peaceful life, finds herself drawn back into the high-society world she despises when her sister falls victim to a deadly sleeping curse.

To save her, Bronwyn must team up with the charming yet infuriating Prince Malik, who hides his true intentions behind a playboy facade.

As they hunt down the dragons responsible for the curse, Bronwyn and Malik's reluctant alliance is tested by their growing feelings for each other.

Set in a magical world reminiscent of Bridgerton with a touch of The Phantom of the Opera, this Sleeping Beauty retelling promises a slow burn, angst-filled romance with a happily-ever-after.

For fans of gaslamp fantasy and fairy tale retellings.
