Once upon a time… 

Isn't that how love stories begin? 

Not this time. This is not a love story. 

This is the untold story of Sleeping Beauty and how Princess Arianna of Graeline was conceived out of darkness and lies.

Born into a kingdom on the brink of disaster, she remains hidden away from the world as protection against a vengeful curse. 

A love curse.

Malevolence has invaded the land of mystery, and the dark mage has decided it’s time to collect on her favor. The price…

The princess.

Until the king calls for a savior. Or two?

Asher “Apollo” McCall and Matthew “Ares” Norbury have worked countless missions together. Named after the Greek gods they resembled, they were considered the biggest and baddest until tragedy struck. Their team was slaughtered and they were left for dead.

Neither man ever foresaw a life of peace, but gazing into the eyes of the young, defiant princess for the first time, they catch a glimpse of what could become their world. 

How far will they go to make the enigmatic royal theirs?

Kidnapping.

Torture.

Imprisonment.

Can these two "princes" beat the odds, save the princess, and live happily ever after?

Or is Arianna destined to die, imprisoned by a curse out of control?

Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you are a fan of Sleeping Beauty and/or Maleficent, K.L. Donn has given us there adult (no kids allowed) version with her story,  Imprisoned. 

Arianna is the Princess of Graeline. Like the original,  she's cursed. Unlike the original,  she has not one but TWO prince charmings, Apollo and Ares, that must work together to break there curse. 

The author goes dark and then even darker with the plot. 

I loved how the author gave this a modern twist but still kept the magical aspect that we are so familiar with in fairy tales. 

While I enjoyed the romance aspect, I wish the author would have spent a little more time with this. The build up scenes had me wanting more than I was given. 

Imprisoned is part of the author's own series and  Apollo and Ares have a past that has caused them grief and turmoil. 

Old characters are mentioned and some make appearances. New characters make their debut and hopefully will have their stories told later. 

There are some parts that I felt were unresolved. I felt like I was cheated with one part of the story UNTIL the epilogue. The author gave me JUST enough to let me know that while the situation may be unresolved now, it won't be for long.
