The Story of Briar Rose
A terrible curse falls upon a newborn princess on the day of her magnificent christening. An angry fairy, enraged at being left off the guest list, declares that the child will one day prick her finger on a spinning wheel and fall dead. Fortunately, a kinder fairy softens the terrible blow, altering the dark magic so the princess will instead fall into a deep slumber lasting exactly one hundred years. As the young girl grows up, the king tries to destroy every spinning wheel in the kingdom to protect her. But destiny has a strange way of finding its mark. When the inevitable happens, the entire castle plunges into a magical sleep right alongside her. A massive, impenetrable hedge of sharp thorns grows around the castle walls, keeping everyone out. For a century, the legend of the slumbering royal family whispers through the lands, until a brave prince decides to face the deadly thorns and uncover the truth hidden inside the overgrown fortress.
