Synopsis

A prince cursed to sleep.

A princess destined to wake him.

A kingdom determined to stop them.

High Prince Alexander has been cursed to a sleep like unto death, a curse that will end the line of the high kings and send the Seven Kingdoms of Tallahatchia into chaos. With his manservant to carry his luggage and his own superior intelligence to aid him, Alex sets off to find one of the Fae and end his curse one way or another.

A hundred years later, Princess Rosanna learns she is the princess destined by the Highest King to wake the legendary sleeping prince. With the help of the mysterious Daemyn Rand, can she find the courage to finish the quest as Tallahatchia wavers on the edge of war?

One curse connects them. A hundred years separate them. From the rushing rivers of Tallahatchia's mountains to the hall of the Highest King himself, their quests will demand greater sacrifice than either of them could imagine.

HOLY COW. So in my humble opinion, this book never quite reached the emotional highs and desperate lows of the Blades of Acktar series. It simply wasn't quite as compelling-- I didn't love the characters /quite/ as much, and I wasn't quite as crazy about the characters. BUT! I think I felt the same w......more

Goodreads review by Faith on May 28, 2018

What a ride, y'all. The course of this book is like a river, dotted with waterfalls of adventure and rocks bearing labels like 'pain' and 'intrigue'. (That's basically the extent of my creativity analogies. Stop laughing.) The plot was adventurous, but the insane, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat exc......more

Goodreads review by Abigail on May 27, 2018

She would be fine. She would be strong, and she would face tomorrow without complaint. But, for tonight, she let her hands shake. I had no intention of reading this book, to be honest, but when I went to sign up for the joint blog tour of this and Dissemble, and actually read the synopsis, and then f......more

Goodreads review by Claire on August 05, 2018

Gender swapped fairy tales are the best! And I love Tricia's Acktar series, so I was super excited to dive into this new series! It has the same great worldbuilding as Acktar, and fun settings inspired by different regions in America (which is awesome!). I loved all the characters and started really......more
