Summary:

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice, writing as A. N. Roquelaure, is the first book in her Sleeping Beauty series. This adult novel reimagines the classic fairy tale with an erotic twist. The story begins with the awakening of Beauty, not with a simple kiss, but a more intense encounter with a prince who takes her to his kingdom. There, she enters a world of sensuality, submission, and elaborate rituals, which challenge her boundaries and desires. Through her experiences, Beauty learns about power, passion, and self-discovery in a setting very different from traditional fairy tales.
