Enter the century-long dream of sleeping Princess Amelia, full of whimsy, magic and hidden nightmares . . . the debut queer Sleeping Beauty retelling by beloved BookTuber Cindy Pham.

Corin doesn’t have time for fairy tales. She’s too busy surviving her war-torn reality. Then, her little sister runs off to find a mythical sleeping princess she believes can fix everything.

Princess Amelia has been hiding in her dreams of ice castles, sunflower mazes, and star-filled oceans for a hundred years – but what exactly is she hiding from?

When Corin follows her sister into the princess’s sleeping world, she suspects there are darker secrets hidden deep inside the dreams. Should she stay in this whimsical paradise? Or should she return to the waking world, with all its horrors, and fight for a better life?
