The salty breeze whips through the cliff-top palace, and the salty tang of the sea fills the air as two princesses race against time. Forbidden from leaving their castle, Aurora and Luna face a powerful curse that threatens to send Aurora into an endless sleep. With the ocean roaring and danger all around, their daring journey has only just begun—and their hearts beat with hope and fear.
