When this Princess wakes she will not be compelled and there is the messy matter of the relationship with Alyce, who has since risen to be the head of Briar.Īfter the events of Malice, Alyce has spent the decades creating her own court made up from the disenfranchised and abandoned dark magical creatures.

Misrule opens 100 years later and tells the second part of the fairy tale when the Princess is awoken, but this is no simple fable. Everyone knows the story of Sleeping Beauty, or do they? Malice by Heather Walter retold the story leading up to Aurora falling asleep, but with far more detail on Aurora and her relationship with Alyce, the person responsible for her curse.
