Beauty in the Tower: A Combined Retelling of Sleeping Beauty & Rapunzel (Realms of Caelia Book 1) by Sara Farnsworth

A stolen princess, a powerful curse, and a prince desperately trying to change their fate. Alora can't remember a time when she wasn't imprisoned in a tower. When a cryptic old wizard breaks her out, she learns overwhelming truths about her identity and destiny: she's a princess, prophesied to bring about the downfall of an evil sorceress, and cursed to sleep until true love's kiss wakes her. Prince Aldric spends years searching for both his missing family and his lost betrothed. When a wounded Princess Alora collapses in his arms, he's determined to help her break her curse and capture the sorceress who tore his family apart. With Aldric's help, Alora learns to harness a power she barely understands as her fated sleep looms ever closer. Will it be enough to defeat the powerful sorceress who cursed her, or will Alora and Aldric's happily ever after be over before it can even begin? Realms of Caelia is a series of interconnected combined fairy tale retellings. Each book weaves two traditional tales together into a unique story. They are best enjoyed in order.
