Born in the light of the dawn, the princess known as Aurora was blessed with the gifts of beauty and song, beloved by all who know her. However, because of a terrible cursed placed on her by the spiteful and ruthless fae Queen Maleficent, she is doomed to fall into a death like sleep before the sun sets on her 16th birthday. However, thanks to the efforts of a trio of fairies and a handsome young prince she had met in the woods, the wicked fae’s curse is well under way on being broken. In this version of the story Aurora is half fae and her mother was a fae princess who fell in love and married the crown prince in hopes that their kind unite. This angered her eldest sister, who happens to be Maleficent and she sought to take vengeance upon the two, so what better way than cursing their precious daughter. Also, in addition to Aurora’s curse the whole kingdom becomes engulfed in snow and everyone freezes when the princess falls asleep. Plus, Aurora and Phillip get to know each other more often…..yeah I don’t believe in love at first sight….love takes time.
