Of Thorns and Curses

Love is a beautiful lie to hide an ugly truth.
Rhoslyn Gautier refuses to accept her fate. All her life she believed she was nothing more than a poor merchant’s daughter from Factory Row. One who now leads an angry march to overthrow a monarchy of mortal monsters. Not a faerie princess who is married to one. But when thrown to the wolves as punishment, she becomes trapped in a curse with Fentienne Beausoleil, an aristocrat in an enchanted chateau who is half-monster by daylight and full monster by moonlight. An ugly, tormented man from an enemy realm she was bound to in faerie blood from her first breath. And there is no escape.
If she breaks their bonds, she will die.
If she falls in love with him, she will die.
Rhoslyn believes the chateau will be her tomb. Then a mysterious man appears in her dreams with claims that he, too, is a prisoner. A wickedly beautiful man with a sharp mind and even sharper heart who captures hers completely. Magic seals away his identity. Yet Rhoslyn suspects that appearances are not all what they seem. But to know for certain, she would need to revolutionize more than a realm on the brink of civil war.
And trigger a curse that will claim her life.
