Unable to sew or embroider like most little princesses, Aurore instead explores the castle grounds and beyond, where her warmth and generosity soon endear her to the townspeople. their devotion to the spirited princess grows as she does.
On her sixteenth birthday, Aurore learns that the impending curse will harm not only her, but the entire kingdom as well. Unwilling to cause suffering, she will embark on a quest to end the evil magic. The princess's bravery will be rewarded as she finds adventure, enchantment, a handsome prince, and ultimately her destiny.

I read The Storyteller's Daughter a long time ago and decided to give the whole series a go, by order of release. I was cheap and bought the more-than-one books and this one is in Once Again. I would be interested in getting each book individually if I could get all the covers with the cut-off heads. No success there. For the story itself:
Cute with a few twists and turns. I am bothered that she married her cousin, who was set up in the beginning as a mini villain. Before I got to Ironheart, I could see the Happily Ever After. Just this small piece kept me from fully enjoying the conclusion and I can say that I would have had the same mindset if I had read it closer to when I first read The Storyteller's Daughter (I was around fourteen.)
