The fairytale was a lie. The crown is a disease.
In a kingdom built on deception, magic is outlawed and appearance is everything. When Princess Aurora is born with a fatal blood condition, King Stefan refuses to let the facade crack. He hires a council of alchemists to mask her illness, creating a perfect royal illusion for the masses.
Only one woman speaks the truth. Maleficent, a brilliant and cold nihilist, diagnoses the failing royal line and sets a deadly sixteen year clock on Aurora's life. To hide the secret, the King burns every spinning wheel in the realm, plunging his economy into ruin just to maintain a theatre of safety.
Now sixteen years later, the clock is ticking down...
Prince Phillip of Aecora is a cynical strategist who despises the court's hypocrisy. Can he fall in love with the mind behind the Princess? Or is he too late and the final countdown has begun?
