Series: Part 7 of Fair Tales of Faerie
Summary:
Jaskier is a peculiar man. He stays up late and rises early, he fusses over pinning techniques at the tailor's shop, and he is forever spinning thread without a purpose. He's a puzzle, but one which Geralt has grown used to. Perhaps even fond of. Quite fond of. With the coming of autumn after many years on the road, Geralt contemplates asking Jaskier along to Kaer Morhen, but when he loses his nerve, he finds he loses his bard as well, for Jaskier disappears over the winter and is nowhere to be found. But Geralt's not the only one in crisis; people are fleeing Lyria en masse as rose vines and brambles overtake the landscape from some unknown source. A very old magic is a work, alive and well, and seeking the revenge for which it was born.
Alt - Jaskier is the hereditary Sleeping Beauty, becoming the next victim after his great grandmother's curse was sealed away in stone. The stone, now crumbling, has released its curse, and the terms have eroded into something new and far more terrible. It is coming for him with a vengeance, and all his running cannot save him from such old magic. But perhaps there's something else that can, if only Geralt can evade the vines long enough to employ the oldest magic of all.
