The Surrender of Sleeping Beauty
Lidiya Foxglove - 2019
And you will probably feel the urge to beg me to stop, but you won’t, will you?” I was raised a princess, but a witch’s curse would seal my fate. Only one man dared to marry me—the future king of the fae. I’m a long way from home. In this palace, there is no freedom, no solitude. I am his possession. Corseted and gilded, or stripped and bound—either way, I’m his to claim. Anytime. Anywhere. It is the role of the king to dominate his bride, publicly and often. I am the living symbol of his strength. But there is no denying his charm and the power he holds to make me crave him. Even as it leads me to the most dreadful event of all—the day I must submit to him before the eyes of the entire court. However, he has a secret of his own. A secret that will lead me into the arms not just one men, but two at once—my beloved King Augustus and our loyal guard, Count Axel. A forbidden love none of us can turn away from. The witch who cursed me lurks in the shadows, ready to destroy us all. The Surrender of Sleeping Beauty was inspired by the life of Marie Antoinette and my love of fairy tales with a sensual twist. It contains intense sexual scenes and some darker themes, along with much decadence, gardens and gowns, and a happily ever after that is both bitter and sweet. This series was originally published as the Queen of the Sun Palace and collects the following three books: BOOK ONE: PRISONER OF SILK BOOK TWO: PRISONER OF MIRRORS BOOK THREE: PRISONER OF DREAMS
