Beasts of Briar

Everyone sees him as a monster. Except her.

Bellamy's brothers have been cursed for sixty years, stuck living as swans. She has only a short amount of time left to break the curse, or they'll be trapped forever. Luckily, she's finally discovered how.

Unluckily, it involves traveling to the deadly shadow court and harvesting the thorny nettle weed that grows in the castle gardens, which Bellamy must use to knit sweaters. One sweater for each of her seven brothers-and she cannot utter a single word until the curse is broken.

When the fearsome and mysterious shadow king catches her and offers safe haven, she doesn't know what to think. She's hated him her entire life for the atrocities he committed against her people. Yet there's something alluring beneath his shadowy exterior, and she finds herself drawn to him against all better judgment.

But a bigger evil looms over her, one that doesn't want this curse broken. One that's not just a threat to Bellamy, but to the entire world. And she may be the only one who can stop it.

Beasts of Briar is the final book in Stolen Crowns, a series of steamy standalone but interconnected fairytale retellings. This Wild Swan meets Beauty and the Beast retelling is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, shadow daddies, and slow-burn fantasy romance.
