Fans of Heartless by Marissa Meyer will enjoy this dark, sapphic take on Sleeping Beauty that allows its characters to be deeply flawed and not fit neatly into the boxes of hero and villain.  Follow the journey of Alyce, a sorceress descended from the same magical beings that cursed the Briar throne's daughters to die on their twenty-first birthdays if they haven't been given true love's kiss. All her life Alyce has been told she is evil, capable of only destruction, but when she meets Aurora, the crown princess and only living heir left in Briar, she begins to question that. Amid terrible betrayals, Alyce fights to overcome the darkness of her heritage in order to save herself, Aurora, and the kingdom of Briar itself.
