It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. In the first book of the series, Anne Rice (author of \u003cem\u003eBeauty's Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e), writing as A.N. Roquelaure, retells the Beauty story and probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience. Readers of \u003cem\u003eFifty Shades of Grey\u003c\/em\u003e will indulge in Rice’s deft storytelling and imaginative eroticism, a sure-to-be classic for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback UNSIGNED","offer_id":47722377838838,"sku":"9780452281424","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/6819\/6086\/files\/Untitleddesign-21_3304194e-bb2e-4d41-a29e-6559f5594c8d.png?v=1738115995","url":"https:\/\/www.beastlybooks.live\/products\/the-claiming-of-sleeping-beauty-anne-rice","provider":"Beastly Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
