Beauty's Kingdom by Anne Rice

Overview

Originally penned by Anne Rice under the pen name A. N. Roquelaure, the Sleeping Beauty trilogy established a provocative and bestselling series that explores themes of desire, submission, and fantasy. Beauty's Kingdom continues this tradition with a new chapter set in the mysterious kingdom of Queen Eleanor. This novel offers a bold retelling of the classic myth, blending eroticism with immersive storytelling.

Key Details

Set twenty years after the original events, Beauty and Laurent return to the kingdom they once left behind. With Queen Eleanor reported dead, Beauty agrees to ascend to the throne. However, she emphasizes that all acts of erotic servitude within her realm are strictly voluntary, ensuring consent remains paramount. The story unfolds as countless princes, princesses, lords, ladies, and commoners seek entry into Beauty’s domain, eager to explore the boundaries of desire and longing.

The novel is a stirring blend of fantasy and eroticism, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to indulge in a world where passion and power intertwine. Anne Rice’s imaginative retelling breathes new life into the Sleeping Beauty myth, emphasizing themes of autonomy and pleasure.

• Invites a diverse cast of characters—princes, princesses, nobles, and commoners—to partake in a realm of ecstasy and longing.
• Ideal for readers who appreciate intricate storytelling combined with explicit erotic content, all set within a fantasy landscape.
