Spice level: 0-1
A magic-wielder in hiding, Julya Severan believes her biggest problem is her sister being sold to the highest bidder—until the prick of a spindle plunges her into a cursed slumber. Ripped from her body, her soul is condemned to a prison realm of nightmares where even the ground is alive with malicious intent. If Julya can’t break the curse and escape before her slumbering body gives out, she’ll die in both worlds.
Her only hope? The prison’s warden, a handsome fae prince who claims he is hers to command.
​
For the last year, visions have haunted Prince Torne of a mysterious woman from the lost House of the Denova, a powerful royal line whose absence threatens the very fabric of his kingdom. Now, she’s more than a wisp; she’s a beautiful woman slumbering in his castle and a terrified soul trapped in his prison. As her sworn protector, Torne must guide her through the perils of Unteryk while facing his own trials in the outside world—a brother-king who opposes his mission and a tournament that could cost him his role as warden. All the while, he must navigate his growing love for Julya and the curse’s ever-tightening grip.
​
If you love clean, enchanting fairy tale retellings filled with magic, a touch of danger, and a slow-burn romance, Chains of Slumber is your next must-read. Perfect for fans of Melanie Cellier, KM Shea, and Shari L. Tapscott, this novel will sweep you into a world where destiny binds, magic reigns, and love breaks every chain.
