HEATHER WALTER - GEBRAUCHT MALICE - PREIS VOM 2...

A princess isn’t supposed to fall for an evil sorceress. But in this “bewitching and
fascinating” (Tamora Pierce) retelling of “Sleeping Beauty ” true love is more than a simple
fairy tale.     “Walter’s spellbinding debut is for all the queer girls and women who’ve been
told to keep their gifts hidden and for those yearning to defy gravity.”— O: The Oprah Magazine
Once upon a time  there was a wicked fairy who  in an act of vengeance  cursed a line of
princesses to die. A curse that could only be broken by true love’s kiss.   You’ve heard this
before  haven’t you? The handsome prince. The happily ever after.   Utter nonsense.   Let me
tell you  no one in Briar actually cares about what happens to its princesses. Not the way they
care about their jewels and elaborate parties and charm-granting elixirs. I thought I didn’t
care  either.  Until I met her.  Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar’s throne. Kind.
Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn’t bothered that I am Alyce  the Dark
Grace  abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and
shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I
should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though a power like mine was
responsible for her curse.  But with less than a year until that curse will kill her  any
future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating—and she can’t stand to kiss yet
another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse  perhaps it’s what can
lift it. Perhaps together we could forge a new world.  Nonsense again. Because we all know how
this story ends  don’t we? Aurora is the beautiful princess. And I—  I am the villain.   Book
One of the Malice Duology
