From the author of The North Wind and The West Wind comes a luscious tale of second-chance love, inspired by Sleeping Beauty and the Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo.

Princess Sarai of Ammara is cursed: on her twenty-fifth birthday she will fall into an endless, deadly sleep, plunging the kingdom into chaos and ruin. In a last-ditch attempt to save Sarai and their people, her father arranges her marriage to Prince Balior, a handsome young noble from a neighbouring kingdom. But another man is vying for her attention: Notus, the South Wind, god of the desert breeze, and Sarai’s ex-lover.

Sarai is determined to stay away from the god who betrayed her and follow her father’s plan. But Prince Balior has dark secrets and an agenda of his own, and as Sarai learns more about her betrothed, she realizes he might actually be her kingdom’s downfall. Despite her hatred for Notus, she convinces him to fake their engagement so she can get out of the arranged marriage and figure out what Balior is really planning and why he is so obsessed with the menacing labyrinth that sits in the palace’s grounds.

But darker forces are at work and they are running out of time. On her twenty-fifth birthday, Sarai falls into an enchanted sleep, and awakes within the labyrinth. Together with Notus, she must battle its horrors to save herself and her kingdom. But the only way to escape is to confront her pain and the monsters she carries within herself…
