Über diesen Titel

A rich and romantic fantasy loosely inspired by the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Perfect for fans of These Violent Delights and The Shadow Queen.

Centuries ago, the heretic sorcerer Ruven raised a deadly briar around Runakhia's palace, casting the royal family into an enchanted sleep—and silencing the kingdom's gods.

Born with a miraculous gift, Lia's destiny is to kill Ruven and wake the royals. But when she succeeds, she finds her duty is not yet complete, for now she must marry into the royal family and forge a pact with a god—or die.

To make matters even worse, Ruven's spirit is haunting her.

As discord grows between the old and new guards, the queen sends Lia and Prince Araunn, her betrothed, on a pilgrimage to awaken the gods. But the old gods are more dangerous than Lia ever knew—and Ruven may offer her only hope of survival.

As the two work together, Lia learns that they're more alike than she expected. And with tensions rising, Lia must choose between what she was raised to believe and what she knows is right—and between the prince she is bound to by duty … and the boy she killed.

Amber Lee Connors is one of my favorite voice actresses and she has done a great job on this book!
As for the story, it's a somewhat stereotypical romance, with mythology mixed in.
I'm actually very impressed with the world building in this book. It paints a vivid image of this other world with unique and intriguing lore around the "gods". I enjoy this depiction of "cruel" gods, with little but disdain for humans, who they see as so far beneath them...
As is often the case in romance books, some scenes felt a little silly to me, but it was still great fun overall! If you don't take your books too seriously and enjoy the genre, this is a good read/listen!

Great voice acting!
