On a windswept island off the coast of the Kingdom of Bavaugh, a long-awaited royal heir is born. In ancient custom, a blessing ceremony takes place to bestow the princess with magical gifts - along with a terrible curse.

Except this is not the love story you know. There is no prince to save the day, just three women - the Queen, her chief Lady-in Waiting and Sel, a Master's Apprentice - who concoct a desperate plan of misdirect that changes the course of all their lives.

In the chaotic aftermath of the blessing ceremony, Sel flees the castle with the cursed princess, promising to raise her in secrecy. Meanwhile, confined behind castle walls, another child grows up in her place. But plain and bookish Talia is not the princess everyone was expecting and, as Sel roams the depths of the kingdom with beautiful and otherworldly Briar, the end of the curse edges ever closer.

Because dark magic cannot be tricked, and a vengeful sorceress has old scores to settle . . .
Spellbound is a captivating retelling of Sleeping Beauty: immersive, magical, and of course, spellbinding! For all those who grew up on Robin McKinley and Stardust, who love Katherine Arden, Frances Hardinge and Joanne Harris, this book is sheer joy
