Sometimes, breaking the curse is only the beginning…
Princess Eliana of Ymittos has long anticipated the day she gets to make the rules — and use her magic without fear of penalty. But until she ascends the throne, Eliana's days are devoted to practicing diplomacy on inconsiderate guests and weighing the merits of her latest string of suitors.
Then, on her 18th birthday, Eliana's parents reveal her true destiny: she alone must wake a sleeping prince from his hundred-year curse, deep in the monster-infested underworld of Malkh. Terrified, Eliana refuses. But the terms of the curse are clear: only the heir of Ymittos can break its spell. If she fails, the entire continent will be easy prey for the evil sorcerer Cetus.
Banished and stripped of his power a millennium ago, Cetus has lain dormant, rebuilding his strength and amassing his armies. Now, his carefully laid trap is about to spring destruction on the first realms in his path. Only Eliana stands in his way.
A Sleeping Beauty retelling with a deadly twist, The Girl Who Broke the Dark is the first volume of the Royal Mages series.

The girl who broke the dark
So adventurous and so much fun to read
Clean
This book was clean and well written. There are some grammatical errors that surely must be typos.
Amazing read!
This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Evelyn. My goodness it’s well written! I stayed captivated and lost in her world bypassing chores to continue in her story. Something rarely done for a retired person. Of course I have to purchase the next book in the series, but I need to do some catching up on my responsibilities first.
