Enter the century-long dream of sleeping Princess Amelia, a place of whimsy, magic and hidden nightmares . . . the debut fairy-tale YA fantasy by beloved BookTuber Cindy Pham.

A century ago, Princess Amelia was cursed into eternal sleep, leaving the kingdom of Gyldan in ruins.

Sixteen-year-old thief Corin dismisses the story as a fairy-tale . . . until her sister Elly runs away to find the sleeping princess.

Corin follows her sister's trail to a buried, ancient castle and a portal to Amelia’s subconscious. Elly has found a paradise of ice castles, sunflower mazes and star-filled oceans, where the sleeping princess's dream alter-ego, Briar Rose, lives in eternal spring - and even the demon who cursed her, Malicine, reigns over a wintry wonderland.

When Corin learns about Amelia’s past - and the secrets hidden deep in this world of dreams - she must decide whether to stay . . . or return to the waking world, with all its horrors, and fight for a better life.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
