Description

In this stand-alone fairy tale, Princess Annie is the only one awake when her sister, Gwen, pricks her finger and casts a sleeping spell on the castle. Blessed or cursed with immunity to magic, Annie must venture beyond the rose-covered hedge to find Gwen's true love to break the spell. As she navigates a fairy tale land with characters both familiar and new, joined by a guard named Liam, Annie seeks to fix her sister and family, and possibly discover her own true love. The first book in a new series by the author of The Frog Princess, a delightful re-imagining of Sleeping Beauty. Princess Annie is frustratingly (and luckily) resistant to magic. When her sister Gwen pricks her finger and the whole castle falls asleep, only Annie stays awake. Now it's up to Annie to find a prince to kiss her sister and break the spell. But who is her sister's true love? And what about Annie's own happily-ever-after? Annie travels through a fairy tale land filled with characters both familiar and new in this original adventure from the beloved author of The Tales of the Frog Princess. Don't miss the rest of the Wide-Awake Princess series by E. D. Baker: The Wide-Awake Princess, Unlocking the Spell, The Bravest Princess, Princess in Disguise, Princess between Worlds, The Princess and the Pearl, Princess before Dawn. And these other magical series: Tales of the Frog Princess, The Fairy-Tale Matchmaker, More Than a Princess, Magic Animal Rescue, and more!
