Awakened: A Curse of Rose and Snow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995585664)

What if Sleeping Beauty woke up and didn't remember the prince? Who would tell her what happened before the curse... and how could she believe them?

Yesterday Rose was a mountain girl running free in the forests of Valeria and helping her village steal back their wealth from a usurper who murdered the old royal family. Today she wakes to find a hundred years has passed, an enchantress in rebellion to the Fae world of Avalon has cursed her country with endless winter, and Rose's memories of the events leading up to this cataclysm have mysteriously vanished.

Soren claims to be an ally shepherding her to safety, but after her remaining family rescue Rose from his side, they explain Soren is a damnsoír of the Fae-a slave in both body and soul. But why does Rose feel there is something between them, something everyone is hiding? Soon Rose learns she is the secret last surviving member of the Aerendel royal family, and the only inheritor to a bloodkey that can open the doors between worlds.

Accompanied by a team of loyal sentries, Rose makes a perilous journey through snow-cursed lands, desperate to enter Avalon and convince the Fae king to return to Earth, conquer his rebels, and free Valeria from endless winter. But dreams of Soren and the secrets of her allies make Rose question everything she's been told. What happened to the prince she supposedly fell in love with? Who is truly allied with the Fae, and to what ends? To rescue her country, avenge her family, and free her memories, Rose must embrace her growing powers, sort truth from lies, and make the choice that could save her world-or doom it.

AWAKENED: A CURSE OF ROSE AND SNOW is a sleeping beauty retelling with a twisting plot, tragic romance, and classic fantasy elements that draw on the beauty and horror of the original fairytale.
