Enchanting ThornsA Sleeping Beauty Retelling
A Kiss to Wake a Fae Prince, A Curse to Destroy the Realms
Brie has always been able to sense malicious auras, and when shadowy thorns consume the forest, she’s horrified to learn that no one else can see the danger threatening her home. Desperate for answers, Brie is summoned by an Enchanter, who reveals she is the only one to save the human world by breaking the spell of a sleeping fae prince–with a kiss.
Roran dreaded the day he would fall under his curse, knowing he would be bound in marriage to whoever woke him. However, nothing prepares him for a human stranger to kiss him awake, and to make matters worse, his entire kingdom is still trapped under the sleeping enchantment. Now bound to Brie, they must embark on a journey to track down the witch responsible for the curse.
Together, they face perilous dangers and unexpectedly find themselves drawn to each other through mysterious dreams. But if they don’t learn to trust one another, the curse will unravel their worlds like a waking nightmare.
Enchanting Thorns is a new adult Sleeping Beauty retelling and book two of the Fairy Tales of Gallia series. Although this story is set hundreds of years before book one, each book is a standalone novel within the same world. Perfect for readers who enjoy no-spice romance, slow burn, magic, and a cupful of angst. Happily ever after, guaranteed.

Fairy Tales of Gallia
November 2024 Author Update from email: After much reflection, I've realized that my book ‘Enchanting Gold’ no longer aligns with the brand I want to build as an author. As a result, I have decided to unpublish it. This decision means 'Enchanting Gold' will no longer be considered canon in the series.
I have considered rewriting 'Enchanting Gold' in the far future. This version will align with the positive and fun stories I wish to tell.
Fairy Tales of Gallia consists of two primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
Reviews and Comments
I really enjoyed this new adult Retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This book is full of adventure and has some really great characters and an interesting storyline. I enjoyed how in this story it is the prince who is cursed instead and seeing how the relationship between Roran & Brie slowly evolves as the two of them get to know each other during their quest to save their realms. This book is part of the Fairy Tales of Gallia series but can be read as a standalone.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
