To Wake a Kingdom

by Rosemary Groux

Waking Sleeping Beauty is only the beginning....

When Prince Rhodri, the fiancé of Crown Princess Calissa of Ecclesia, goes missing, everyone is rightly concerned. But no one realizes this disappearance is a foreshadowing of something much worse. The day before Calissa's twentieth birthday, an ancient enemy reappears and manipulates her into pricking her finger on a rose, an action causing the whole kingdom to fall into an enchanted sleep. Only Aislinn, Calissa's best friend, escapes. Though Aislinn is a Brenwyd, a race of people gifted to fight magic, she knows she cannot defeat such a powerful sorceress alone and goes in search of Rhodri to help break the spell with true love's kiss. She is successful, but they discover that freeing the whole kingdom will require more than a kiss. It will require the three friends to journey to the heart of the sorceress's lair; to trust in Abba, the most High, more than ever before; and to seek the help of an unexpected ally who battled the sorceress long ago. He has secrets of his own, however, and if Aislinn truly wants to wake the kingdom she must unravel them and heal a long-hardened heart. But will she be able to do so in time?

Groux is a gifted writer with an amazing ability to balance unpredictability and imagination inside a purpose-filled dialogue. The questions that the characters raise about the meaning of life and the connection with a greater power are so crucial for our teens to contemplate.
