At the end of every autumn Rhen, crown prince of Emberfall, becomes a beast who kills everyone and everything until his curse resets and it all starts again.

In 500 seasons he’s killed his family, his servants, his subjects. He has one chance each season to break the curse–find someone to love him. When his commander comes to our world to kidnap a possible lover he instead ends up with Harper, a girl with cerebral palsy. Harper is smarter than anyone Rhen has ever met. He knows she’ll never fall in love with him. But she might help him save his kingdom.

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
