Sleeping Beauty Stories Books in Order

Anne Rice turns the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale into explicit adult fantasy, as Beauty is awakened and carried to a distant kingdom where princes and princesses are trained as sexual slaves, confronting desire, humiliation, and the dangerous lure of submission.

Banished from the royal castle after forbidden passion, Beauty is auctioned to serve in a nearby village, where she and other slaves endure new masters, harsher discipline, and unexpected tenderness, deepening this lush exploration of erotic submission and self-discovery.

Captured by foreign raiders, Beauty and other slaves are taken to a distant land where erotic customs are even stranger. Amid elaborate rituals and shifting loyalties, she faces ultimate tests of surrender, loyalty, and the possibility of a different kind of future.

Years after their early training, Queen Beauty and King Laurent return to a ravaged erotic realm and rebuild it on new terms. As they invite former slaves to help shape the kingdom, the series revisits power, consent, and imaginative sensual play.
