Cursed Slumber: A Dark Sapphic Sleeping Beauty Retelling

I was supposed to wake her. Not fall into her nightmare.

Aurora Sinclair had been cursed, left in an enchanted sleep for a century. The legends called her a victim, a fragile princess trapped in a prison of endless dreams. Breaking curses was my job… Her prince in the form of a demon fighting woman with one simple mission.

One kiss. One moment. One curse broken.

Instead, the second my lips touched hers, the world shattered.

I didn’t wake Aurora. I woke something else.

Now, I’m trapped inside her nightmare—a twisted, shifting realm of shadows and whispers, where nothing is real except the hunger in her golden eyes and the darkness curling at her fingertips. Aurora wasn’t just a girl lost in sleep. She was a queen in her own right, a villain shaped by a century of torment.

And she wants retribution.

The worst part? I think I want it too.

If I was meant to save her, why does it feel so good to fall?

One kiss bound me to her forever. Now, there’s no going back.

A dark, spicy, sapphic retelling of Sleeping Beauty, where salvation tastes like sin, and happily-ever-afters are written in blood. Perfect for fans of a seductive villainess, a morally gray heroine, dreamscape horror, and gothic fantasy romance with an edge of madness
