Book of the Day September 18
Sleeping Beauty had it easy. Her curse only made her take a nap when she
turned 16. As if it wasn’t bad enough already that because of her frost
giant heritage from her father the king’s side of the family she was 6
feet tall when she was only 12 years old, poor Princess Bronwyn (the
Bold) of Argonia was cursed at birth to tell nothing but lies. With her
father away at war and her mother heavily pregnant, Bronwyn is even more
in the way than usual, so she gets packed off to Wormroost, her aunt’s
place in the glaciers, and en route she meets her musician/magician
cousin Carole, a not-so-brave gypsy lad, and a princess-turned-swan.
The lot of them encounter monsters, sorcerers, sea serpents, mercenary
mages and sirens--many of whom are related to them. Without quite
intending to, they embark on a quest to end the war, heal a
battle-ravaged land, end a ban on magic and lift Bronwyn’s Bane.
Here's what we need you to do (Thanks in Advance!):
