Once upon a time, a wicked fairy cursed a line of princesses to die. You've heard this before, haven't you? The handsome prince. True love's kiss?

Utter nonsense. No one in Briar cares what happens to our princess. I thought I didn't either... and then I met her.

Princess Aurora, last heir to the throne, the future queen her realm needs. One who isn't bothered that I am the Dark Grace, abhorred for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. I want to help her, but with less than a year before the curse kills her, any future I might imagine for us is quickly disappearing - and she can't stand to kiss yet another idiotic prince.

After all, we all know how this story ends.

Aurora is the beautiful princess.
