Dreams in Time: A Romantasy Sleeping Beauty Re-telling

A sleeping princess, a handsome prince, and a dark time travel romance...

I'm a librarian with a passion for history. I lead a quiet life. I get my adventures from the books I read, and I'm okay with that.

Until I'm suddenly transported back in time.

For as long as I can remember, my nights have been haunted by vivid dreams of a medieval kingdom and a beautiful princess trapped in eternal slumber.

But one fateful night, my dreams transport me back in time, where I awaken in the body of Princess Aveline, who has been cursed to sleep forever.

All the books in the world couldn't prepare me for the realities of medieval life.

To make matters worse, I have to pretend to be the princess I've replaced.

And then there's the dashing and determined Prince Alaric. He's handsome and everything I ever dreamed a prince would be, but how can I get close to him while he believes he's falling in love with someone else? And how do I keep my own feelings in check?

I know I somehow have to break the curse that binds the real Princess Aveline—both for her sake and my own.

But I might break my heart in the process.

Dreams in Time is a captivating retelling of Sleeping Beauty, filled with romance, fantasy, and adventure. If you enjoyed the magic and romance of 'The Selection' series, you'll love this timeless tale of true love and sacrifice.

★★★★★★★★☆☆ 8 / 10

This was my first book by Kenzie Skye and I thought it was an enjoyable retelling of Sleeping Beauty with a lot of details and world building packed into a fairly quick read. I look forward to seeing what Fairy Tale Retellings are added to this series in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
