Born a Nyphillie, one with thicker blood of the Fallens in her, Rowan Lockhart is one of the ‘Cursed’. All she had ever wanted was freedom, to be accepted for who she was. Yet, when she was finally set free, her path was lined with betrayals, drenched in the blood of her beloveds.  By a twist of fate, she found herself whisked off to wed the Duke of Noxsidus. A beast, a monster, the devil himself—were just few of the many names Cornelius Darkwoods resonated with. She was prepared to fight him, to perish with him if she failed. But she soon found, there is more to the last of the Maguses than the rumours depicted him to be—and that she was not the only one thirsting for vengeance. *A dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast meets blood and vengeance.
