In "Beauty’s Kingdom," Anne Rice, as A. N. Roquelaure, continues the Sleeping Beauty series. After Queen Eleanor's death, Beauty and Laurent return to claim the throne, advocating for voluntary erotic servitude. The novel explores themes of desire and ecstasy, appealing to both longtime fans and new readers of erotica. Intended for mature audiences.
Beauty's adventures in the hypnotic realm of sexuality make her the bound captive of an Eastern Sultan and a prisoner in the exotic confines of the harem. As this voluptuous adult fairy tale moves towards its conclusion, all Beauty's encounters with the myriad variations of sexual fantasy are presented in a sensuous, seductive and erotic prose that intensifies Beauty's secret world.
After waking her from her hundred-year slumber, the Prince takes Sleeping Beauty as a sex slave and brings her to live in his kingdom where she learns to become submissive and fulfills the sexual desires of nobles and other slaves.
Durante todo el año, los lugareños ahorraban cuanto podían para el dia en que, por unas cuantas monedas, podían adquirir un esclavo altivo, un príncicipe elegido para servir, adiestrado y preparado para la corte, que entonces durante todo el verano debía de obedecer a cualquier humilde sirvienta o mozo de cuadra que pujara lo suficiente en la subasta pública. El jefe de patrulla no podía evitar anticiparse al final del verano e imaginar a estos mismos jóvenes ahora quejosos y forcejeantes, en el momento de ser devueltos, tas concienzudos castigos, con las cabezas inclinadas y las bocas calladas, en la más completa sumisión.
Anne Rice’s The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, written as A.N. Roquelaure, reimagines the classic tale, focusing on its ties to sexual desire. Instead of a kiss, the Prince awakens Beauty through sexual initiation, leading to her total enslavement. This provocative retelling offers a rich exploration of erotic yearning and fantasy.
