Bookroo's summary

Princess Rose is cursed to sleep for a century, while a prince with ogre blood faces his own challenges. When he stumbles upon her hidden castle, their fates intertwine. Can he awaken her and navigate the perils of his own family to find a true happily ever after? This fresh twist on a classic fairy tale explores the unexpected journey of two unlikely heroes. Will they overcome their obstacles and rewrite their destinies, or will the past keep them apart forever?

From the publisher

The girl’s been asleep for a hundred years. The boy’s got issues of his own. There are two sides to every story…. It’s not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding all sharp objects . . . and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a hundred years or so. And it’s not easy being The Prince. Especially when your mother has some ogre blood and tends to chow down at the most unfortunate moments. A walk in the woods would help, you think. Until you find a certain hidden castle . . . and a certain sleeping princess. Happily ever after? Not until the prince helps the princess awaken . . . and brings her home to Mother. Journey back to the days when fairy tales were true with this fun and fresh spin on a timeless tale!
