Centuries ago, there was a beauty who did not live
happily ever after. She fled her vampire Ottoman
Prince, who now rules the Primati supernatural
on earth with his half-brother Alaric, the terrifying
Enforcer. The runaway beauty's only living
descendant, seventeen-year-old Stella Avery, is
juggling the care of her ailing grandfather with the
discovery that life is not what it seems in Portland,
Oregon. Stella's Romany family shadow her every
move and she discovers that an ancient enemy
wants her dead. Her best friend, Amanda, reveals
herself to be an actual witch and Stella must
uncover the truth about the curse that has killed
every woman in her family before their twenty-
first birthday-or suffer the same fate.
For Alaric, his role as Primati Enforcer means utter
loyalty to his brother. Half-angel, half-demon,
he has no place in his heart for a mortal. Feared in
his own right, Alaric finds himself torn between
the law he has protected for hundreds of years
and a young girl who cannot be loved without
bringing about her own death.
"A page turning, unique re-imagined tale of
Sleeping Beauty for those who crave a terrific,
witchy urban fantasy."
