A Curse So Dark and Lonely - Brigid Kemmerer

A New York Times bestseller!
"Has everything you'd want in a retelling of a classic fairy tale." - Jodi Picoult

In
a lush, contemporary fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast,
Brigid
Kemmerer gives readers another compulsively readable romance
perfect
for fans of Marissa Meyer.

Fall in love, break the curse.

It
once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a
powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over
and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was
before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a
vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his
castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has
ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying,
and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly
underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be
tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the
streets of Washington, DC, she's instead somehow sucked into Rhen's
cursed world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

A
prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn't know where she is or what to
believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she
begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not
just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful
forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a
broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.
