Here at SFFWorld we’re pleased to offer you an exclusive look at A CURSE OF BEASTS AND MAGIC by Jeaniene Frost.
A CURSE OF BEASTS AND MAGIC is a beauty and the beast retelling where this time, Beauty is the beast herself! It’s the first in a dark romantasy series filled with morally grey characters, female rage, and a steamy romance.
Raine Stone is living a nightmare. Ever since she survived the attack that killed her family, she’s been hiding a terrible secret – and a Beast inside her.
It feeds on violence and chaos, but she restrains its urges by playing vigilante on the city streets. Until one night, Raine uses the Beast’s energy to heal an elderly gentleman from a seemingly random attack and discovers a new world of danger – literally.
Remington ‘Remy’ Byrne knows the wall between a realm of deadly mythic creatures and our own world is very fragile. After all, he’s the Warden who guards the gateways between them. Raine’s Beast contains power that could tip the scales in a sinister plot against Remy’s rule – if she allies with him.
Will they be friends or foes . . . or will their dangerous attraction turn into something else? And can our world be saved by their explosive alliance?
