![]() ![]() As Alyce soon discovers, after a chance meeting with the princess, Aurora doesn't want to marry a prince. ![]() The curse has already killed the current Briar Queen's two eldest daughters, locking the crown in a race against time to find a suitor for 20-year-old Princess Aurora. Alyce's hexes are nothing compared to the generational curse that one powerful Vila placed on the Briar Queen: to bear only girls, who must find their true loves before their 21st birthdays or die. As the Dark Grace, green-blooded Alyce bleeds life into mild curses that Briar's citizens use against one another. The light Fae blessed Briar's Graces with beauty and magical, golden blood, which they use to craft potions for paying customers throughout the land. Everyone knows that the Vila were nothing more than evil beasts, and that includes Alyce, the half-Vila forced to serve as Briar's Dark Grace. Long ago, the War of the Fae annihilated the Vila and their homeland, Malterre, but no one who survived the war-the humans of Briar and the light Fae of Etheria-seems to mind. An outcast and a spunky princess dream of revolutionizing their world even as one of them approaches her final, cursed days. ![]()
