Since birth, Nyx has
been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom – all because of a
reckless bargain her father struck. And since birth, she has been
training to kill him.
Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate.
Still, on her seventeenth birthday, she abandons everything she’s ever
known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him,
disarm him, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her
people.
But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming
lord beguiles her, and his castle – a shifting maze of magical rooms –
enthralls her. As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by
uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to
him. But even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, could
she refuse her duty to kill him?
Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is
a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to
change our destiny.
