You've heard this before, haven't you? The handsome prince. The happily-ever-after.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUtter nonsense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet me tell you, no one actually cares about what happens to our princesses. I thought I didn't care, either. Until I met her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrincess Aurora. The last heir to the throne. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn't bothered that I am the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though it was a power like mine that was responsible for her curse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating - and she can't stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps it's what can lift it. Perhaps, together, we could forge a new world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, don't we? Aurora is the beautiful princess.
