Beauty's Quest: A Historical Fantasy Fairy Tale Retelling of Sleeping Beauty

In order to defeat the sorceress Magdalina, and free herself from her curse, Rose, the Princess of Rhone, has set out to find dragon’s blood. As she travels toward the Romani territory, where the Serpent’s Garden resides, she is accompanied by her faithful group of friends, including their newest member, Prince Philip of Einish.

But when the group ends up shipwrecked on the small island of Maltia, they find themselves trapped without supplies and a way off the island. With time, money, and new enemies working against them, Rose remains determined despite her despair to rise to each challenge. But can she face the growing fear—and longing—inside herself?

From the book:

“You want to be free,” Theo told her. “But you don’t even allow yourself to dream of it, even with small things, like singing a song.”

A new wave of anger, both at him and at herself, washed over her. “If I am free, I am free to refuse,” she muttered.

“It’s not a matter of freedom, but fear.”

“I am not afraid!”

“Aren’t you?” Theo asked quietly.

“No.”

Rose waited to hear Theo argue with her. But he said nothing.

Sweet, suspenseful, and full of surprises, Beauty’s Quest is the second book in the Once Upon a Princess saga from C. S. Johnson. Enjoy Part II of this historical fantasy retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale!
