Centuries ago, the flames of a terrible war engulfed the sprawling wildwood of Brittany, displacing hoards of monsters in its wake. These beasts fled to the remaining patches of forest, the largest known as Brocèliande—home to the elusive Fae, and within unsettling proximity to the mortal kingdom.
***
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 gregarious
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.
Author Bio:
With an education in Mass Communication—and an
engrossment in all that is curios, conundrum, and bewitching—Brianna Sugalski
is a writer and blogger for The Parliament House Press. Previously, she was a
contributor for Lifestyle & Fashion online magazine, Sarah Scoop, and also
served as Copy Editor and Editor-In-Chief at her school publications. All this
time spent writing paid off; her New Adult/ Dark Fantasy novel, DISENCHANTED,
was recently acquired for publication, and is slated for release in Spring of
2020.
Brianna was born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, but
now travels every few years with her husband and two children. As the first
writer in a family whose majority works in the medical field, she also feels an
important calling to heal others as an artist—though she is content doing so
through the often underestimated power of communication. She admires many
luminaries of the Victorian Era; the romanticism of period literature has
inspired her to paint vibrant settings of nature and narratives that readers
will hopefully enjoy.
Ultimately, she aspires to make readers laugh, to
challenge their perspectives and to help them discover the magical meaning of
their own powers within.
