In a fresh fairy‑tale adventure, Princess Annie is the younger sister of Gwen, the princess destined to become Sleeping Beauty. When Gwen pricks her finger and the entire castle falls into a magical slumber, only Annie remains awake—her resistance to enchantments making her the lone hope for rescue. Joined by Liam, a castle guard who was outside when the spell struck, Annie ventures beyond the rose‑covered hedge into a world of familiar and new fairy‑tale characters. As she seeks Gwen’s true love to wake her, Annie also confronts her own feelings and the possibility of finding a true love for herself.
