"Yolen's graceful retelling of the German folktale of “Briar Rose”-known to some as “Sleeping Beauty”-sets the story amid forests patrolled by the German army during World War II. Yolen confronts the deeply tragic events of the Holocaust with lyrical prose and rich characterizations that tell a tale of good and evil, hope and despair."--Back cover.

Coira is the princess raised in the shadow of her mother's hatred. Avoided by both her parents and half-forgotten by her father's court, she grows into womanhood alone until the mirror speaks, and blood is spilled, and the forest claims her."--Jacket.
