What to expect

FIVE FAIRYTALES. NINE KINGDOMS. ONE PRINCE.

'This is not your Disney fairy tale. It is much, much better' WILDER'S BOOK REVIEW
'Brilliantly subverts the classic fairy tale' ONE CHAPTER MORE
'Loads of fun . . . Exposes the patriarchal, oppressive fairytale world order which we take for granted in the old yarns' THE INDEPENDENT

Imagine a castle lost to history, a brave prince, a beautiful princess and a curse waiting to be broken . . .
And then imagine them all again . . .
This is the tale of Sleeping Beauty, retold as it always should have been.

Beauty is the second instalment in this British Fantasy Award-winning world teeming with lovers, dragons, witches, and werewolves by Number 1 Sunday Times bestseller Sarah Pinborough.

Newly revised, rejacketed, and relaunched with a brand-new prequel and sequel, the Tales from the Kingdoms series is your next dark fantasy romance obsession.
