Synopsis

Beauty and the Beast meets Anastasia in this spicy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy where the romance is sharp , the tension & yearning are feral , and the betrayal unforgettable . For years, Princess Ana has been a prisoner—kept alive by forbidden potions, hidden away while the kingdom of Trova rots under the rule of those who locked her away. She was never meant to survive. Yet she endured. Held on. She will not give up on Trova. Not even in the dark of her cage. Then came the day it was breached—by a fae prince with eyes like fire. He was a spark in the sharp, intoxicating, impossible to resist. And then he left her for dead. But death never came. Escape did. Now, as kingdoms clash and ancient forces stir, Ana is thrust into a world of ruthless courts, seductive bargains, and the dangerously magnetic prince who abandoned her once before. He is temptation wrapped in thorns. The enemy she burns to hate. The desire she cannot silence. But when fate throws them together once more, Ana must claim the vengeance she’s waited for… or risk everything on a man who might ruin her again. So… will this be your next 3am binge?
