The Cruel Prince meets A Curse So Dark and Lonely in this epic reimagining of "The Sleeping Beauty" that follows a teen girl on a quest to wake a sleeping princess in an enchanted forest, while searching for the truth behind her own deadly curse. Lena has a secret: the touch of her skin can kill. Cursed by a witch before she was born, Lena has always lived in fear and isolation. But after a devastating mistake, she and her father are forced to flee to a village near the Silence, a mysterious forest with a reputation for luring people into the trees, never to be seen again. . . Until the night an enigmatic girl stumbles out of the Silence and into Lena' s sheltered world. Miranda comes from the Gather, a city in the forest brimming with magic. She is on a quest to wake a sleeping princess believed to hold the key to liberating the Gather from its tyrannical ruler-and she offers Lena a bargain. If Lena assists her on her journey, Miranda will help her break the curse. Mesmerized by Miranda and her promise of a new life, Lena jumps at the chance. But the deeper into the Silence she goes, the more she suspects she' s been lied to-about her family' s history, her curse, and her future. As the shadows close in, Lena must choose who to trust and decide whether it' s more important to have freedom. . . or power.

Strap yourself in for a romantic and magical adventure. "-Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer "A bewitching, tangled web of a story, with all the glamor, truth and nuance of the best and oldest fairytales. " -Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds and A Treason of Thorns
