BEAUTY'S KINGDOM

A.N. Roquelaure

The unexpected fourth installment of the erotic bestselling Sleeping Beauty trilogy by master storyteller Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquelaure.
Mega-bestselling author Anne Rice returns to where she left off in Beauty’s Release with the disappearance of Queen Eleanor in Bellavalten. Now, 20 years after they were forced to leave the Kingdom to return to their homeland, Queen Beauty and her husband King Laurent agree to travel to the Kingdom to uphold the ways of pleasure slavery, but now insist on voluntary (rather than enforced) servitude in Bellavalten.

Countless eager Princes, Princesses, Lords and Ladies journey to Beauty’s new Kingdom where she and her husband revitalize their domain, ushering in a new era of desire, longing, spanking, and naked slavery. Provocative and sensual, Rice’s reimagined telling of the Sleeping Beauty myth will be hailed by her longtime fans and new readers of erotica.


Anne Rice is the author of many bestselling novels, including the hugely successful Vampire Chronicles. Her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, was made into a film in 1994 starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her other books include the Mayfair Witches series, the novels The Mummy or Ramses the Damned, Violin Angel Time, the Sleeping Beauty trilogy, and, most recently, Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles. Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, she now lives in Southern California.

Beauty’s Kingdom is a worthy new installment, and fans of the series will love it. Read more...

This fourth volume in the series can, in many ways, be set apart from the originating trilogy... The newest installment was, for me, a more palatable sojourn into fantastic erotica. I found it less an exercise in challenging my own sexual mores and more an entertaining read. This book can be read as a standalone, I think, and, if you’re new to erotica or on the periphery, that’s exactly what I suggest. Read more...

Voluptuous imagery and graphic scenes...Roquelaure pulls no punches (or holds back no spankings). The fairy-tale setting provides an apt stage, and the magical world clearly marks the erotic action as fantasy.

If you are looking for a H.O.T., well written story, and love fantasy reads…you won’t be disappointed in Beauty’s Kingdom. Read more...

BEAUTY’S KINGDOM is #12 on the New York Times Hardcover Bestseller list! (April 29, 2015)

... This story is more x-rated than any of the mainstream erotica that's popular right now. This series as a whole is not for the faint of heart. It's an erotica take on a retelling of The Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Read more...
