When she's caught trespassing in the forbidden wood, a young woman becomes the prisoner of Nyfain, the last dragon prince of a cursed kingdom—and the only one standing between his people and total destruction. He's dangerous, ruthless, and absolutely convinced she's the key to breaking the dark magic that's trapped them all in a frozen wasteland, but she knows that getting close to him means risking everything, including her own soul. What unfolds is a deliciously dark dance between a woman fighting her undeniable attraction to the beast and a man desperate enough to use her to save his kingdom—except nothing goes quite as planned. If you love anti-heroes with serious bite, morally gray relationships that sizzle, and fantasy worlds that feel like they're one wrong move away from complete chaos, this dark Beauty and the Beast retelling will absolutely wreck you.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, haunting fantasy romance with gothic undertones and sensual intensity. Think moody orchestral arrangements, ethereal vocals, industrial beats, and brooding alternative rock. Capture the tension of forbidden attraction in a frozen, cursed world—atmospheric, dangerous, and deeply magnetic.
