What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Princess of the Wild Sea by Megan Frazer Blakemore, read by Emily Eiden.

A curse will fall . . .
A hero will rise . . .

Princess Harbor Rose is cursed. She’s lived her whole life hidden away on a remote island with her magical aunts, following all the rules for being a princess. Now it is only one more year until thirteenth birthday, when a hero will finally arrive to save her from her curse.

But as with any story, there are two sides . . . and the curse told of much more than a single princess’s uncertain fate. It told of a dangerous foe rooted in powerful magic. It told of a terrible war that could destroy everything if a young hero didn't arrive in time. It told of a magic imbued with hope that could save everyone, but only if they believe.

With her beloved kingdom and island at grave risk, Harbor Rose has a choice: Should she wait for the hero, or take matters into her own hands?

Critics Review

An absorbing fantasy adventure with well-developed characters and more than a touch of magic.
Booklist, starred review
Familiar fairy tales serve as the foundation for this intriguing volume, which Blakemore imbues with refreshing wildness and originality, resulting in a continually surprising adventure.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Blakemore blends the fantastic and the mysterious into a fast-paced narrative that still leaves room for the characters to breathe and to wonder. . . . An imaginative adventure both familiar and new.
Kirkus Reviews, starred review
A clever adventure story recommended for readers who enjoy a twist on classic fantasies and the authors previous books.
School Library Journal
This retelling of Sleeping Beauty introduces new twists to the traditional tale. . . . Themes of good versus evil, heroism, courage, bravery, and love of family and home are cleverly sewn into the fabric of the plot.
