The Curse of the Wretched eBook

An ancient witch with a vendetta against his kingdom An charming prince charged with breaking her curse Five hundred years after the legendary hero of Genad supposedly vanquished her, the shadow-wielding Ophesia reappears to curse the kingdom. Thom, the crown prince, is tasked with finishing what his ancestor started - with very little hope of success. Armed with his ancestor's ancient journals, he travels to her dangerous manor—only for her to imprison him and vow he'll never leave. His new captor is reclusive, but not unkind, and eventually concedes to dine with Thom every evening. Through stilted conversations about art, books, and poetry, Thom learns more about Ophesia's heart, and through it, unravels more of the mystery of what really happened on this mountain with his legendary ancestor. And saving his kingdom might just mean mending her broken heart first. The Curse of the Wretched is the first book in the Wretched Curse series, a spicy, gender-swapped Beauty and the Beast retelling with forced proximity, hidden identities, shadow magic, and slow-burn yearning. Perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent's Daughter of No Worlds, Alix E. Harrow's The Everlasting, and Rebecca Ross's A River Enchanted.
