Sinossi

Sleeping Beauty Stories includes several stories across several decades from the beginning of is imaginative creation. The story that brought to life the sensational Maleficent the new Disney movie. Includes the stories of Andrew Lang (1844-1912), Charles Perrault, and others. The story: At the christening of a king and queen's long-wished-for child, seven fairies are invited to be godmothers to the infant princess. At the banquet back at the palace, the fairies seat themselves with a golden casket containing golden jeweled utensils laid before them. However, a fairy who was overlooked, having been within a certain tower for many years and thought to be either dead or enchanted, enters and is offered a seating, but not a golden casket since only seven were made. The fairies then offer their gifts of beauty, wit, grace, dance, song and music. The bad fairy, angry at being overlooked, places the princess under an enchantment as her gift: the princess will prick her hand on a spindle and die. One fairy who hadn't yet given her gift, uses it to reverse the evil fairy's curse, but she can only do so partially: instead of dying, the princess will fall into a deep sleep for 100 years and be awoken by a king's son. A hundred years pass and a prince from another family spies the hidden castle during a hunting expedition. His attendants tell him differing stories regarding the happenings in the castle until an old man recounts his father's words: within the castle lies a beautiful princess who is doomed to sleep for a hundred years, whereupon a king's son is to come and awaken her.

    Forged in fire, marked by fate 
    The xenos came to devour. 
    Three worlds they took before the Solaran Fleet ground them to a halt. 
    No man, woman and child in the Empire escaped the aftermath. Refugees flooded the core. Interstellar trade routes collapsed. Economies imploded. 
    Some citizens lost their homeworlds. Others, their livelihoods, their families, their friends… 
    But that wasn’t the end. From the ashes of this tragedy, three heroes arose. 
    These are their origin stories—the trials and tribulations which forged the Fleet’s finest starfighter pilots and set them on a path to ultimately save humanity’s future. 
    Starfighter Origins collects three action-packed space opera novellas by M.G. Herron into one spellbinding volume. This collection includes Spare Parts, Raptor, and Operation Heartstrike, set in the Relics of the Ancients universe.
