“Once upon a time…
Isn’t that how love stories begin?
Not this time. This is not a love story.
This is the untold story of Sleeping Beauty and how Princess Arianna of Graeline was conceived
out of darkness and lies.
Born into a kingdom on the brink of disaster, she remains hidden away from the world as
protection against a vengeful curse.
A love curse.
Malevolence has invaded the land of mystery, and the dark mage has decided it’s time to
collect on her favor. The price…
The princess.
Until the king calls for a savior. Or two?
Asher “Apollo” McCall and Matthew “Ares” Norbury have worked countless missions
together. Named after the Greek gods they resembled, they were considered the biggest and
baddest until tragedy struck. Their team was slaughtered and they were left for dead.
Neither man ever foresaw a life of peace, but gazing into the eyes of the young, defiant
princess for the first time, they catch a glimpse of what could become their world.
How far will they go to make the enigmatic royal theirs?
Kidnapping.
Torture.
Imprisonment.
Can these two “princes”; beat the odds, save the princess, and live happily ever after?
Or is Arianna destined to die, imprisoned by a curse out of control?”

In this dark retelling, we follow a princess whose magic is dwindling from a curse and her kingdom is secretly suffering with human trafficking on the rise.

It’s a combination of the modern world and a complex fantasy with a loosely-fitted Sleeping Beauty plot.

I was surprised in how this story was twisted into more of a mission-oriented book with the romance on the side as we get multiple POVs. It’s definitely a unique story with an emphasis on the characters. A lot of development happens with them, and we do get a chunk of the book dedicated to background information rather than the plot itself.

A solid 3 out of 5 stars.
