{"product_id":"book-11iw","title":"Briar Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eBriar Rose is the original Grimm telling of what later generations would soften into Sleeping Beauty-a fairy tale not of romance, but of fate, time, and enchantment that cannot be undone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a long-awaited princess is born, she is blessed by twelve fairies with every good gift imaginable. But an uninvited thirteenth fairy delivers a curse: on her fifteenth birthday, the princess will prick her finger on a spindle and fall dead. The spell is weakened, not broken-death becomes a hundred-year sleep, and an entire kingdom is drawn into stillness with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is not a tale of rescue, but of suspension. Fires go cold mid-flame. Courtiers freeze in motion. Vines and thorns rise year after year, sealing the palace away from the world. Princes come and perish. Time itself seems to wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly when the century has fully passed does the story allow movement again-awakening not just a sleeping girl, but a world held captive by inevitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrated with quiet gravity by Joanna Agee, this production restores Briar Rose to its original tone: somber, enchanted, and faintly dangerous. This is the Grimm fairy tale as it was first told-beautiful, unsettling, and bound by fate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50569698312496,"sku":"BD11iw","price":3.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/11iw-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770205672","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-11iw","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
