This true love's kiss will wake a horror...
You know the story. Once upon a time, a princess was cursed to sleep for a hundred years. When the curse was broken, the princess woke and discovered that everyone in her kingdom had become rotting, flesh-eating, corpse-like monsters.
...Maybe you don't know this story.
Newly awakened, Princess Briar is the only one in her castle unaffected by the mysterious rotting. She suspects her kingdom is suffering a curse, likely cast by the same fairy who bewitched Briar herself. Accompanied by the two (yes,
two
) princes who woke her, Briar sets out to discover the truth and save her people.
But then she begins to experience frightening symptoms: inexplicable bruises, memory loss, and, oh, yes, an uncontrollable urge to devour her friends. Suddenly, Briar's quest to save her kingdom becomes a race to save herself, before she joins the ranks of the undead.
And when information comes to light about what
really
caused this rotting curse, a truth is revealed... one with the power to break Briar. Now she must make a terrible choice-and discover what really makes a monster.
For fans of Marissa Meyer and Erin A. Craig,
Rotting Beauty
is a twisted fairy tale as ghastly and grisly (and just a little wacky) as it is enchanting.
