About the Book

Something is very wrong with Alice--very much like the heroine in the "Sleeping Beauty" fairy tale. It seems that the ill-wishing placed on her has come true. Even her closest friends don't seem able to save her from the nightmare.

Book Synopsis

In this retelling of "Sleeping Beauty," Alice seems destined to lead a princess's life--except for the frightening curse that dreaded Aunt Violette bestowed at her christening: She will die at the age of eighteen. Although she lives, something horrible happens on her eighteenth birthday. And as a result, Alice falls into a trancelike state and refuses to speak to anyone. Will she ever recover?
