Does true love break curses, or begin them? Sleeping Beauty's dark sorceress reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice.
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 descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But, could Aurora love the villain Alyce has become?
Or, is true love only for fairytales?
