Description

A reimagining of the sleeping beauty tale.

When her beloved Prince Devaran is abducted from her parents’ castle during their engagement announcement ceremony, Princess Jessmyn vows that nothing will stop her from bringing his abductors to justice. Rescuing Dev won't be easy, and Jess will have to form an alliance with the other Realms if she's to win the most important battle of her life.

Imprisoned in a forbidding tower, Dev tries to find a way to warn Jess of the perils she’ll face. Weakened by deprivation and by the drugs administered by the madwoman who kidnapped him, Dev drifts between sleep and consciousness. As he relives cherished moments spent with Jess, Dev wonders if he’ll ever again be with the woman he loves.

A Note From the Publisher

The book contains some mature content

Advance Praise

"Narrated in fairy-tale fashion, the book takes us into a medieval world of dreams, castles, warriors, and kingdoms. We cheer for Jess as she races against time to save her beloved prince, and we feel for Dev as he attempts to hold on to his sanity while drugged and imprisoned. This is the second book I read by Elizabeth Darcy. The first one was Eye of the Beholder, a beautiful retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and once again her magical writing transported me to an enchanting dreamland." - Kari Kaz via Goodreads

"Wonderfully written fantasy romance with characters I totally fell in love with.

I was totally hooked from the 1st page. The hero, Prince Devaran (Dev) is abducted during his engagement announcement ceremony to Princess Jessmyn (Jess). We're given just a teasing hint of the relationship between the betrothed couple who are deeply in love." Linda via Goodreads

"I thought it was a wonderfully told story. Elizabeth does a wonderful job of retelling the fairytales that I find myself attached to the characters and what is going on with them, even when I already know how the story is going to end.It was unique in that the prince was the one in and out of sleep and the princess is the warrior on the quest to save him. I loved how the romance/relationship developed over the course of the story between Jess and Dev and how they thought entirely of the other." - Tawnya McBride via Goodreads
