Description

Relia returns to life to be with Princess Dawn, even though her love will burn the world to the ground.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The most magical story! Poppy was inspired by the original Barbie movies, and that perfectly encapsulates the magical and whimsical vibes of this story and its fairytale setting’ – Emily Rose, Goodreads, on Woken Kingdom

A century ago, a lonely girl was made a promise: although her dearest was cursed into an indefinite sleep, they could be reunited. She just had to die.

The malicious fairy, Lire, didn’t tell Relia she wouldn’t return as herself. Disguised as ‘Carlotta’ and gifted with magic, she becomes Dawn’s closest confidante. Her devotion makes her the perfect spy.

Dawn’s new maid is kind, soft, and always knows what she needs. Dawn didn’t think she could love again after losing Relia. Yet as the Fairy War corrodes her kingdom, and her heart breaks piece by piece, Carlotta reminds Dawn what it felt like to be truly awake.

Relia is running out of her borrowed time. Dawn knows she’s being watched. She demands they quest to find an enchanted mirror capable of exposing infiltrators. Suddenly they are beyond the restrictions of the kingdom. Alone, free, and getting unbearably closer to each other . . . and to their doom.

Both Dawn’s kingdom and her romance are built on a crumbling foundation of lies. When the truth is revealed, can she forgive Relia, or will the betrayal destroy her and leave Lire victorious?

Giselle meets Romeo and Juliet in this sapphic love story for fans of dreamy, whimsical fairytale authors like Stephanie Garber and Allison Saft.
