In this reversal of the
Sleeping Beauty story, gorgeous Galiana Montehue—resisting
her family's efforts at arranged marriage—scorns all her
suitors and finds true love only after she awakens an
injured knight from a deep sleep. As the novel begins,
Galiana has come to view her beauty as a curse, and she
fears for her future. Wishing for an adventure, just one,
before she is forced to settle down and marry, she takes a
stroll in winter's first snowfall with her younger twin
brothers and, following them into the forest, is horrified
by the sight of a knight drawing a sword on one of the boys. Without thought, she throws a rock and hits the knight on
the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. Taken
prisoner by the knight's men, Galiana finds herself locked
up in a strange manor house where she is forced to care for
the incredibly handsome victim of her well-aimed throw, but
when the young man finally wakes from his coma, the
household’s happiness turns to sorrow upon hearing he is now
blind. By this time, Galiana has become very fond of her
knight, and he in turn is fascinated by her gentleness and
her wit. Because he is unable to see Galiana's beauty, she
trusts him, and by the time his eyesight returns, the young
knight is ready to ask for her hand in marriage. He also
reveals his true identity—as a spy for Prince William. As he
describes his life-and-death mission to find an ancient,
magical stone known as the Breath of Merlin, Galiana knows
her wish for meaning and adventure has come true, and she
joins her prince in his fight against the forces of
treachery and ancient magic.
