Princess Aurora lost her mother and her kingdom in the same
day. Years later, with her brother captured, she is on a
mission to save him and the throne. Disguised as a boy,
Aurora is found by Prince Niklaas, a young man determined to
find Aurora and marry her to break his own curse. As the two
journey together to save a kingdom ruled by ogres, they
discover a surprising friendship and a heartbreaking need to
own up to the secrets they've kept buried that could tear
them apart.
Stacey Jay delivers another mesmerizing fairy tale
reimagining with PRINCESS OF THORNS. Full of secrets,
royalty, magic, and fighting, Aurora and Niklaas face an
epic journey of sacrifice and self-discovery. The fast
pacing and snappy dialogue make this a quick read, while the
incredible characterization make the story unforgettable.
One of the most powerful parts of this story is Niklaas's
growth. With several recent fairy tale retellings aiming to
shake things up with tearing apart the traditional gender
stereotypes and roles (and wonderfully so), Niklaas stands
out as a love interest who starts off being deep in sexist
ideology. His clear transformation from categorizing women
into only two possible roles to learning that women, and
humans in general, are far more complex than labels would
make them out to be makes this book ideal for sparking
important discussions.
With superb story-telling and a fierce, passionate romance,
PRINCESS OF THORNS is one to read as soon as possible for YA
fantasy lovers. Stacey Jay will wow readers with this latest
novel as she delivers characters and a story you won't soon
forget.
Game of Thrones meets the Grimm’s fairy tales in this
twisted, fast-paced romantic fantasy-adventure about
Sleeping Beauty’s daughter, a warrior princess who must
fight to reclaim her throne.
Though she looks like a mere mortal, Princess Aurora is a
fairy blessed with enhanced strength, bravery, and mercy yet
cursed to destroy the free will of any male who kisses her.
Disguised as a boy, she enlists the help of the handsome but
also cursed Prince Niklaas to fight legions of evil and free
her brother from the ogre queen who stole Aurora’s throne
ten years ago.
Will Aurora triumph over evil and reach her brother before
it’s too late? Can Aurora and Niklaas break the curses that
will otherwise forever keep them from finding their one true
love?
