Disenchanted
by
Brianna Sugalski
Genre:
YA Dark Fantasy Romance
A
Breton princess at the peak of the French Renaissance, Lilac lives
prisoner in her parents' castle after a wicked secret is revealed on
the eve of her tenth birthday soirée. Years later, her coronation
ceremony looms, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming
nobleman bent on snatching the throne, Lilac prepares for the
worst...
Until
a mysterious letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto,
detailing a curious offer to cure her darkness forever. Lilac
begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the
forest Brocéliande in pursuit of the impious enchantress at the edge
of town. With only the protection of an inherited dagger-and,
unsolicited help of the sardonic stranger who inserts himself on her
quest-she must traverse Brocèliande and return in time to claim her
rightful position as sovereign monarch.
This
is the story of a cursed princess,
A
crestfallen killer,
The
town that wants them to burn,
And
the witch that can save them both.
With
an education in Mass Communication--and an engrossment in all that is
curious and bewitching--Brianna Sugalski is an author and blog editor
at the Parliament House Press.
The
Filipino-American author was born and raised on the island of Oahu in
Hawaii, but travels the country every few years with her husband and
two children. She admires the luminaries of the Victorian Era;
growing up reading period literature, folklore, and fables has
inspired her to paint vibrant settings of nature and narratives that
readers will hopefully enjoy.
Ultimately,
she aspires to make her own readers laugh, to challenge their
perspectives on society and systemic prejudice, and to help them
discover the magical meaning of their own powers within.
