In this retelling of Sleeping Beauty, a princess is cursed to fall into an enchanted sleep, her castle encased in a wall of thorns. A century later, a prince arrives to break the spell, only to discover the story he's been told is not the whole truth. The legend is far more complicated, and the princess may not need saving in the way he expects.
