Eshbaugh, Kayla – Spindled Slumber

October 11, 2024 · In: 18th

Welcome to the ancient land of Terra, where curses run rampant throughout all the kingdoms and where the royalty desperately attempt to break their curses and claim their own happily ever afters.

Princess Briar of Thorn has a death curse, but she’s not worried about it. She’d rather spend her time tending to her rose vines in the hot desert gardens of her kingdom, snooping about the castle, and spending as much time as she can with her ill mother. When her father announces they are traveling to meet the two cold Haleston princes, she is sure she wants nothing to do with the traitor prince look-alike. That is until the golden-haired prince and his reclusive ways find her more curious than ever. She can’t simply leave him alone even when he is less than receptive to her attentions. As she searches for a way to help her mother, she is drawn in more and more by Prince Gideon of Haleston and wants to see him smile—even if only once.

Prince Gideon of Haleston seems to have been cursed twice. Not only does he look like the spitting image of the traitor King Falcon himself, may he rot in the mountain,. His true curse will kill whomever he falls in love with. Keeping from maidens is the only way he can protect them. Spending his days reading in the library fills him with contentment, that is until a princess with opinions, confidence, and unwavering curiosity catches his attention. Gideon knows he must keep his distance from the captivating yet irritating princess of Thorn, even if it goes against his desires. No matter how hard he tries, nothing stops his feelings that keep growing for Briar. With each passing day, he knows he will kill her if he can not control his heart. Can he break his curse? Or is it as unbreakable as he’d always been told—sealing Briars fate forever?

Will one prick from the spindle of a spinning wheel save them both? Or will it keep them apart forever?

Available on Amazon.
