From a beloved fantasy author comes this fresh feminist retelling of Sleeping Beauty about one girl destined for greatness—and the powerful sister ready to protect her by any means necessary.
Miriam may be the daughter of Queen Alethia of Tirendell, but she’s not a princess. She’s the child of Alethia and her previous husband, the King’s Champion, who died fighting for the king, and she has no ambitions to rule. When her new baby sister Aurora, heir to the throne, is born, she’s ecstatic. She adores the baby, who seems perfect in every way. But on the day of Aurora’s christening, an uninvited Dark Fae arrives, prepared to curse her, and Miriam discovers she possesses impossible power.
Soon, Miriam is charged with being trained in both magic and combat to act as chief protector to her sister. But shadowy threats are moving closer and closer to their kingdom, and Miriam’s dark power may not be enough to save everyone she loves, let alone herself.
Praise For Briarheart:
“Lackey (the Valdemar series) immerses her epic fantasy in medieval verisimilitude, balancing fantastical elements such as talking animals and feuding fairies with the everyday details of baking and architecture.”- Publishers Weekly

this looks very intriguing
I ❤ Mercedes Lackey’s books! I have been reading them forever.
Sounds good to me!
What a fascinating book! Great cover too. I enjoy Mercedes Lackey’s books and look forward to reading her new release.
I love the strong heroines authors are writing for girls. For so long they were depicted as needing to be protected and having to wait for the hero to save them. These variations on traditional fairy tales are an excellent place to start.
cool
This sounds really good! Gorgeous cover! ❤
