I'm told I have no choice but to become his queen. That's how the story always goes.
But my heart desires a man I can't touch. The knight who was there in the shadows, watching me. The curse isn’t yet fully broken.
I've lived this tale once before. This time, I choose a different ending. I want him. The hard-hearted knight whose kiss awakens me, body and soul. Who protects me from the terrifying monsters that follow me wherever I go. No matter what price I must pay—or what it costs him to awaken me in truth.
