More about the book

Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose faces a unique challenge as a descendant of one of three magical races—shifters, fairies, or witches—making her one of the Magicorum, destined to follow a fairy tale life template. For Bryar, this template is Sleeping Beauty, but she is far from fitting that mold. Disliking birds and singing, she has no interest in marrying Prince Philpot, the “His Highness of Hedge Funds” her aunties favor. Instead, she is haunted by dreams of a bad boy and has an unexpected obsession with ancient Egyptian papyri. All she desires is a normal high school life, free from the magical world and the curse placed on her by Colonel Mallory the Magnificent, which she hopes will lift on her eighteenth birthday. However, her plans are disrupted when she meets Knox, a powerful werewolf from her dreams, who changes everything. As Bryar navigates her feelings for Knox and uncovers her true identity, she realizes that failing to understand who she is could endanger both their lives and the essence of magic itself. This story is a captivating blend of young adult fantasy, romance, and adventure, appealing to fans of fairy tales and coming-of-age narratives.
