Princess Raelyn would love a simple life getting up to mischief with her brother and being valued for herself, not her title, but her purpose has been dictated since childhood. A treaty that established an unprecedented era of peace requires her marriage to Crown Prince Tristan when she turns eighteen. It's time to face her destiny, and Raelyn is ready to shoulder the responsibility. But when she gets lost on the way to the wedding, she is caught by a dragon-man. Not only does the monster claim to be Alexander, the rightful crown prince living in hiding, but he refuses to return her to her family-putting the future of her kingdom and safety of her family at risk. Trapped in dangerous mountains, Raelyn struggles to reconcile the kindness of the dragon-man's human friends with the beast who breathes fire. When Alexander reveals the shocking truth of his curse, she begins to see past the monstrous exterior to the prince's human heart. But will Raelyn have the courage to admit her growing attraction to a cursed man? And will her family manage to salvage the treaty when they think her dead? A Beauty and the Beast reimagining with surprising twists.
