(published in Germany by Wolfgang Krüger Verlag, and S. Fischer Verlag as Der Fluch der achten Fee).
When Prince Alonso awakens the sleeping princess and takes her back to the palace, the royal family, their advisers, the clergy and others try to unravel the dark secrets of her past. But these are nothing compared to the horrors of the present, when the curse of the eighth fairy begins to take full effect.
“It was more exciting than the best thriller.” Ahlener Volkszeitung.
“At first you think it’s Sleeping Beauty, an ancient story retold […] But swiftly the tale becomes a mystic drama in time, a psychological history, a thriller. [Wilson] tells his tale unpretentiously, but precisely, and so rivetingly that one resents any interruption.” Buchjournal
