Beauty's Dark Dream (Curse of the Fallen #1)

Wake up, little prey.

Thrain
I am the monster who haunts her dreams. Once a dark fae prince, I was imprisoned in the nightmare realm by a light fae curse. Only love can break it, but terror feeds me power, and there’s one mortal whose screams I crave.

Princess Briar, my favorite little prey. Once, we were friends. We were almost more. Until my dark cravings scared her away.

When her dreams become traps and she begs me to scare her awake, she stirs my old obsession. I know she’ll run, but I like the chase. With the power she feeds me, I’ll take back what should be mine. Starting with her.

Briar
Every night, my dreams hold me captive and it’s getting worse. I sleep while the light fae overrun my kingdom. Only terror wakes me, and there’s nothing in my nightmares that still scares me.

Nothing but him.

Thrain, Lord of Nightmares, the monster I once trusted. I’m terrified to get close to him again, but fear is just what I need. If I don’t become a plaything in his vicious nightly games, I will sleep forever while my kingdom falls.
