Once upon a time, there was a wicked fairy who cursed a line of princesses to die, and could only be broken by true love' s kiss. You' ve heard this before, haven' t you? The handsome prince. The happily-ever-after. Utter nonsense. Let me tell you, no one actually cares about what happens to our princesses. I thought I didn' t care, either. Until I met her. Princess Aurora. The last heir to the throne. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn' t bothered that I am the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though it was a power like mine that was responsible for her curse. But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating - and she can' t stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps it' s what can lift it. Perhaps, together, we could forge a new world. Nonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, don' t we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. And I-I am the villain.

Malice is the dark and wicked heart of a fairytale carved into a book. This story is beautiful, vicious magic * Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand * A beautifully imaginative and feminist retelling of a fairytale so often swept into the dark. Walter' s debut was engrossing from page one, with a vivid cast of characters, thrilling romance and a world so vivid it will wrap thorns around your dreams. * Roshani Chokshi, author of The Guilded Wolves * A truly original and clever retelling of a classic that had me racing to the end - you' ll never look at Sleeping Beauty the same again. * S. A. Chakraborty, author of City of Brass * The story grows deliciously darker at every turn . . . Fairy tale lovers of all ages will be thrilled * Publishers Weekly, Starred Review * Heather Walter writes about magic-and with magic. Her retelling of Sleeping Beauty remains true to the beloved classic, yet every page is completely new and unexpected. * Richelle Mead, author of the Vampire Academy series *
