After waking from a cursed sleep, Princess Aurora recruits her sister Isbe to help protect the kingdom from further encroachments by the evil faerie Malfleur. This satisfying sequel to
Spindle Fire incorporates elements of the "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella" stories. Hillyer's tale about love, loyalty, and persistence avoids typical fairy-tale clichés by depicting protagonists with limitations and by keeping romance at a distance.
