What happened after the happily ever after?
You all know the story of your
favorite fairytale, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale
ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real
adventure starts much later...
No one understands what it's like
when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average.
Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how
people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her
name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping
princess or Sleeping Beauty. Even all these years later, when the royals appear
in the paper, my father, the king barely gets a mention and I'm only a footnote
in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter.
My name's Princess Azia Rose of
Draconis and here is my story...
Following famous fairytale
characters, eighteen years after their happily ever after, the Kingdom of
Fairytales offers an edge of the seat thrill ride in an all new and sensational
way to read.
Lighting-fast reads you won’t be able to put down
Read in real time as each chapter
follows a day in the life of a character throughout the entire year, with each
bite-sized episode representing a week in the life of our hero.
Each character’s story wrapped up
at the end of every season with a brand new character and story featured in
each season.
Fantasy has never been so epic!

MY Review:
Queen of Dragons is a retelling of sorts of Sleeping Beauty and
what happened after the happily ever after bit. Queen of Dragons tells the tale
of Sleeping Beauty’s daughter Princess Azia Rose of Draconis. It is time for
Azia to prepare for her taking over as the Queen when the day comes of course.
Azia’s parents believe it is time for Azia to take a husband
to help guide her as Queen when she takes the throne. But Azia is not ready for
marriage she wants to live life on her own and to have the opportunity to
explore life and if love is in the cards
for her then maybe one day she will meet her prince charming but if not that is
ok too.
When the king and queen introduces Azia to her husband to be
she is so upset by the idea of marring this man that when she opens her mouth out
pops the words that she can’t marry this guy as she already has a boyfriend not
what she expected to say at all. Her parents had no idea that she was dating
anyone so when they ask who she is dating she gives them the name of one of her
guards.
Azia has gotten herself in a mess now because the guard has
no clue that they are dating but when she informs him of the fact he plays
along nicely as I do believe the guard has a huge crush on our little princess.
The news of Azia’s boyfriend does not deter her parents in the least as they
continue to insist that she is to marry the other guy. Who will become the next
Prince Charming the guard or this new guy that Azia does not like in the least?
Something strange is happening in the kingdom as something
has changed. Dragons have always flown over the land but now they are flying
lower than usual. What is up with the dragons? Why are they flying lower? Will
they attack the people?
Queen of Dragons is a wonderful retelling of Sleeping
Beauty. Queen of Dragons is just the beginning into a new world of fairy tale
retellings that I am so happy to be a part of. I can’t wait for more in this
world of retellings. Queen of Dragons has a few twists but there was one big
twist that I did not see coming I was expecting one thing and got another. Wow
now that was one surprising twist. After that twist I can’t wait to see what is
in store for us in the next chapter of the Kingdom of Fairytales with the Heiress
of Embers.
I highly recommend Queen of Dragons to anyone who loved
reading the famous fairy tale Sleeping Beauty growing up. Oh and if you are
into dragons then Queen of Dragons is the book for you.
