Fall in love, break the curse.

It once seemed so easy to Prince Rhen, the heir to Emberfall. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year over and over, he knew he could be saved if a girl fell for him. But that was before he learned that at the end of each autumn, he would turn into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. That was before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother barely holding their family together while constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, she learned to be tough enough to survive. But when she tries to save someone else on the streets of Washington, DC, she's instead somehow sucked into Rhen's cursed world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

A prince? A monster? A curse? Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. But as she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall... and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.

Uma releitura digna de A Bela e a Fera

Meu Deus, que livro! Essa leitura foi uma viagem cheia de emoções. Uma releitura muito bem feita e muito bem planejada do meu conto de fadas favorito. Brigid Kemmerer soube mesclar com maestria os elementos originais do conto de fadas tão amado por todos, e seu próprio mundo fantástico. A sensação que isso me causava durante a leitura era incrível, pois era como se eu já conhecesse um pouco de cada um ali, como se eu já soubesse o que esperar, quando na verdade eu era surpreendida a cada novo capítulo. A premissa pode sim, seguir a do conto original, mas a história de Harper, de Rhen, de Grey e de todo o reino de Emberfall é única, e é incrível. A reta final do livro é eletrizante, e me custou várias unhas roídas. O epílogo e a revelação que ele trouxe, então, me deixou tremendo por mais. Sorte que já tenho o segundo livro ali, guardadinho na estante, e mal posso esperar para pegá-lo e dar continuidade a essa história incrível!

?My father once said we are all dealt a hand at birth. A good hand can ultimately lose - just as a poor hand can win - but we must all play all the cards fate deals. The choices we face may not be the choices we want, but they are choices nonetheless.?
