She’s forced to question everything and everyone she thought she knew, from her parentage to her own name.

This book, though packed with action and darkness, is just as much about Aurora Rose’s discovery of who she is as it is about a quest against evil. Thrust into a world that is at once strange and familiar, Aurora Rose embarks on a journey to end Maleficent’s grip on her mind– and her people– before time runs out. With the question “What if the sleeping beauty never woke up?”, the classic story of Sleeping Beauty takes a turn into the cursed Aurora Rose’s mind, where the princess, her newfound prince, and the castle’s inhabitants are trapped in a dreamworld haunted by Maleficent’s dark powers. Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell is part of her Twisted Tale series, in which she takes the Disney version of a fairy tale and adds a twist that transforms the story and opens the familiar tale to a whole new realm of possibilities.
