📘 The Sleeping Beauty (Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms #5) by Mercedes Lackey

Princess Rosamund, ruler of a realm that prides itself on strict traditions—every princess needs a prince, the king wields ultimate power, stepmothers are never trusted, and deviation from custom invites disaster—faces betrayal when a huntsman pursues her and dwarves capture her. Wrapped in a dangerous spell, she falls into a deep sleep. When she awakens, a forthright outsider’s touch has broken the curse, and she must decide whether to return to the old order or chart a new future for herself and her kingdom. Lackey’s tale weaves court intrigue, fairy‑tale magic, and the struggle between duty and self‑determination.
