Caught in the battle of a lifetime, Prince Rainier’s land is nearing surrender. Years of war have destroyed his once beautiful land and virtually everything he held dear. His forces are dwindling, his gold almost gone, and he’s facing the prospect of an arranged marriage in order to buy allies in a last ditch attempt to save his kingdom.
On a fool’s errand, he races out in search of one last hope—an old fairytale his father had once told him of a sleeping army that could win his war for him.
The only wrinkle? He’ll have to kiss a beautiful princess in order to do it. Unwilling to let his people suffer, he’ll do what he must in order to save them all. And perhaps that princess won’t want him once she awakens… considering he doesn’t want her.
Only his princess isn’t all he’d expected.
Can he find a way to save his people and not curse two people to live in a loveless marriage?
And what’s all this nonsense about true love?
“Who… who are you?” Rainier smiled. “I’m the man who woke you from your five hundred year slumber.”
Caught by the beautiful cover and the blurb plus the interesting premise of one good fairytale and retelling story about one of my favorite classic fairytale story, Sleeping Beauty, I devouring and enjoying this book in one sit!
Even when you completely KNOW about the story with my heart, it’s still made me curious and interested in what the author will DO with this famous classic story and really intriguing by the plot twists the author put in this book.
I really enjoying reading Prince Rainier’s journeys to save his Kingdom from the battle by following his heart to find allies through marriage even it means he must marry a Princess and put his own desire of man behind.
Ready to sacrifice himself to his Kingdom sake, Prince Rainier bravely fight the dragon and preparing himself to kiss a Princess. Only what he didn’t expected is…the princess he about to kiss turned out to be a breathtaking and beautiful prince!!!
I always love fairytale and retelling, and this one is one of good combination of it and was written in very interesting, entertaining and good plot twists I ever read. All I can say is…this short story – no doubt – is another recommended short read!!!
