I am very excited to bring you a spotlight on a deliciously twisted retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Set in the same world as Sarah Prineas first YA book, Ash & Bramble, readers will re-visit the world of fairytales in Rose & Thorn. Imaginative, Prineas manages to invoke the feeling of the original story but give it a modern update. Fans of fairytale retellings will be in for a treat, and lovers of dark fantasy will fall in love as well!

The Summary
This beauty isn’t sleeping! Sarah Prineas’s darkly imaginative retelling breaks down the classic story of Sleeping Beauty in a big, bold way. Brimming with action and romance, beautiful Rose must escape the curse that will force the kingdom to fall into a century-long slumber and fights for the freedom to find her own happily ever after.
After the spell protecting her is destroyed, Rose seeks safety in the world outside the valley she had called home. She’s been kept hidden all her life to delay the three curses she was born with, curses that will have drastic consequences if they take effect. Accompanied by the handsome and mysterious Griff and Quirk, his witty and warmhearted partner, Rose tries to escape from the ties that bind her to this forced fairy tale. But will the path they take lead them to freedom, or will it bring them straight into the prescribed story they are trying to avoid?
Set in the world of Prineas’s Ash & Bramble fifty years later, Rose & Thorn is a powerful retelling of Sleeping Beauty. If you like your fairy tales dark, your heroines daring, and your suitors dashing, this is the book for you.
