The Winter Charlatan, The Storyteller Series
A beautiful spin on a tale we all know and love, THE WINTER CHARLATAN is full of magic, lies, betrayal, honor, and courage.
--Casey L. Bond, author of WHEN WISHES BLEED
A curse, a deadly struggle for the throne, and a girl who will fight to save her kingdom at all costs. THE WINTER CHARLATAN had me squealing with each twisty turn! I'm obsessed with this sleeping beauty retelling.
--Danielle Harrington, award-winning author of THE HOLLIS TIMEWIRE SERIES
“Don’t fret, dear one. Sleep will be the start of a great adventure for you.”
Sleeping Beauty fell asleep.
But then, her daughter did too.
Scared of the pattern repeating, Sleeping Beauty’s daughter seeks out the cave mages who promised that if she gave birth, it’d be a boy—safe from the curse’s effects. But the queen also has a daughter, Rowan. To hide this liability, she switches Rowan with a boy and grooms him to take the throne while leaving her daughter in the care of a local lord. Rowan grows up hating the boy who took her crown and vows to break the curse so she can take her rightful place as queen.
But when a neighboring kingdom threatens war, Rowan must work with the fraud prince to save Elenvérs. She pledges herself as a spy to the enemy court, living in the heart of danger.
If she can’t save her kingdom before the curse takes effect, there may be nothing left to wake up to.
