**She's hounded from every side by treacherous elements and foes, but her greatest enemy lies within.**
In the mountains near France, the medieval Princess Elyce is being forced to marry, thus forming an alliance that will enrich her father but enslave her kingdom. Instead, she chooses to feign her death and flee to Prague to beg King Wenceslaus to help save her people.
In England, the young knight Sir Gerard has a vision from God instructing him to help Elyce on her quest. When he arrives to find she has been near death for days, he manages to revive her. However, thinking the stranger was trying to kiss her, the princess immediately distrusts him. But her desperate situation forces her to accept his aid.
Pursued by her enemy's guards over mountainous terrain, they must also battle the deadly winter elements. Her greatest challenge may be to overcome the voices of disapproval and accusation from her childhood. Will her emotions lead her into her true identity, or will they undermine her ability to work with Gerard and to save her people, who desperately need her help?
In this dazzling and romantic story, New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson takes the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale to satisfying new heights.

I absolutely loved this book! Elyce can't bear the thought of marrying the heartless ogre of a man her father has pledged her to, and all to form an alliance with a ruthless king who will force her people to work in his mines. Every attempt she makes to escape and get help for her people seems to be thwarted, but she can't give up, she must prevail for the sake of her people and God has sent her just the right person to help her. This tale is exciting and action packed to the end. Great for teens and adults!

Intriguing
Melanie Dickerson has a way of transporting her readers back to Medieval times and bringing well-known fairytales to life - and this book was no different. Such a captivating story (with a stunning cover too!). Looking forward to reading more in this series.

A sweet hero
What girl doesn't want a man who can handle emotion!? A sweet young adult romance novel with a bit of peril and few character developments from the same series. An enjoyable quick read.
