A Gracious Hope - Hope Ever After, #14 - E-book - ePub

Can one find hope when everything familiar has been stripped away? On the eve of her nineteenth birthday, Alora learns she's not a peasant girl, the people who raised her aren't even related to her, and she can't marry the boy from the village who promised to return for her. She's a princess, betrothed to a neighboring royal - and cursed since birth. But Alora adores her simple life and flees from her newfound expectations.
When the curse is enacted anyway, she must fight her way through a strange new land. If she doesn't defeat the one who cursed her, she'll be trapped in a dream forever. A Gracious Hope, a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and The Wizard of Oz, is a stand-alone novella, complete with such tropes as "protective hero, " "he falls first, " and "no damsels here." It is part of the Hope Ever After series, a collection of twenty hopeful and uplifting fairy-tale retellings.
