Card wields his enchantment like never before, turning the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty into a unique dream full of romance and excitement.
Ivan's life was permanently altered when he stumbled onto a clearing in the thick Carpathian forest. Pretty princess Katerina lay still as death on a pedestal surrounded by falling leaves. However, something evil moved under the leaves, sending the ten-year-old Ivan running for the security of Cousin Marek's farm.
Years later, Ivan is a graduate student in the United States who is engaged to be married. He can't, however, let go of that long-ago day in the forest or persuade himself that it was just a scared boy's imagination. Ivan finds the area just as he left it after being forced to return to his own country.
No, he doesn't run this time. This time, he kisses the beauty to awaken her, and then he enters a realm that has long since disappeared.
Enchantment is a profoundly unique tale about a love and destiny that transcend millennia... and the evil force that follows them through the years. It is a magnificent tapestry of colliding worlds and civilizations.
