[read to the end, please!]
Hey, everyone! I know I haven't been active for FOREVER; I've been really busy with school as well as extracurriculars and have taken a step back from Wattpad for a while.
That being said, I still have many stories I haven't finished, let alone started. One in particular has been left in my drafts for TWO YEARS, and I decided it's finally time for me to work on it. It's called 'Dying Heart, Living Soul' and is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. The summary is below!
"A blessing goes terribly wrong, tainted by the envy of a faceless monster. A curse ravages the land, silencing all those who breathe. A girl falls into an eternal sleep, escaping death to experience something far worse.
For years, the land of Aurora has suffered under Maleficent's rage.. until one day, Briar Rose awakens, brought back by a prince. But the world Briar returns to has transformed in her absence - demons roam the land, humans remain forever asleep, and fairies struggle to hold the remnants of peace together.
Briar finds herself entangled in the middle of the conflict, with her prince alongside her, as she discovers to her dismay that her happily ever after is still hopelessly beyond reach.. and that even though she has woken up from her dreams, her nightmares are just beginning."
I really hope this interests some of you! I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out. I made the decision to post it on Tapas because posting small, bite-sized chapters is encouraged there, and I feel like it's easier for me to fit it into my schedule if I write shorter chapters. A few chapters are already up!
Here's the link: https://tapas.io/series/Dying-Heart-Living-Soul. You can either find the story by searching Tapas up on Safari or downloading the app. And it's completely free to read, of course!
Thank you for reading all the way to the end and supporting me. <3 If you have any questions feel free to ask!
