House Denova of the Fae: Book 1

What if Sleeping Beauty’s slumber wasn’t rest… but imprisonment?
What if the one who held the key was sworn to protect her?

​

Julya Severan has spent her life hiding her magic. But when her sister is promised to the highest bidder, a desperate act lands Julya under a deadly curse. Her body falls into a mysterious sleep, while her soul is dragged into a realm of living nightmares.

If she can’t escape the prison before her body gives out, she’ll be lost forever.

​

And the one person who can help her… is the warden of the realm itself.

Prince Torne guards a world of shadows and torment.

But for the last year, visions of a girl from the lost House Denova have haunted him. Now, she’s more than a dream. She’s real. She’s trapped in his realm. And she may hold the power to restore the magic unraveling his world.

​

Torne must help Julya survive the prison's dangers, even as forces outside threaten his title, his kingdom, and the fragile connection growing between them.

She is a prisoner of the curse.
He is its reluctant keeper.
And the only way out is through a bond one of them has dreamed of for a century. The other never saw it coming.

For fans of clean, enchanting fairy tale retellings filled with magic, inner strength, and a touch of danger. In the style of Anastasis Blythe and delivering the slow-burn romantic arcs of K.M. Shea, Chains of Slumber is the first book in a romantasy duet that reimagines Sleeping Beauty.
