Sleeping Beauty (Timeless Fairy Tales Book 8)

Briar Rose has always lived a simple life, pitying the legendary hidden princess doomed to an eternal slumber by a dark curse. However, her world shatters when she discovers she is that very princess. Thrust into royalty, she finds herself reunited with her estranged family and her childhood friend, Isaia, a stoic Magic Knight sworn to protect her. As she navigates this jarring new reality, she must confront the terrifying truth that her life is governed by a magical prophecy she never asked for.

When the malevolent mage Carabosso returns to wreak havoc on the countryside, the crown chooses to lock Briar away rather than fight. Refusing to be a helpless pawn, Briar rebels against her royal status to save her people. This high-stakes fantasy adventure masterfully blends folklore with modern sensibilities, featuring a spirited heroine who refuses to wait for a miracle.

The slow-burn romance between Briar and Isaia provides a perfect second-chance dynamic, as the pair must reconcile their shared past with the dangerous duties of the present. Packed with humor, heart-pounding magic, and a relentless drive to rewrite fate, this retelling is an essential read for anyone craving a magical romance where the princess saves herself.
