Waking Beauty

Everyone agrees: the only thing that can wake Princess Araminta from her cursed sleep is True Love's Kiss. But when Thea, a novice knight, kisses the princess with the hope to wake her, she discovers that there are a few flaws in that logic. First: Princess Araminta is not asleep, just removed from her body. Second: kisses don't break her curse, but those who kiss her with selfless intentions are able to hear her voice. Third: Princess Araminta knows exactly what will break her curse, and now that she has a willing and able accomplice, she's determined to get it.
