The Price of Beauty

In a realm where curses linger and winter creeps ever closer, beauty is the most dangerous magic of all.

When I pluck a forbidden rose from the Fairy Queen’s cursed woods, I don’t just awaken an ancient prophecy. I bind myself to two men destined to tear a kingdom apart.

One is the brooding Prince of the Mortal Realm, sworn to protect his people at any cost. Even if that cost is his heart.

The other is his twin brother, the High King - brilliant, ruthless, and dangerously drawn to the power the rose has awakened in me. He looks at me not as something to protect, but as something to claim.

They share a bond forged in blood and loyalty.

And now I stand between them.

The prophecy says one brother will save the realm. The other will destroy it. But it doesn’t say what will become of the girl they both desire.

I am no pawn in their war of light and shadow. If beauty is a weapon, I will wield it. If love is a weakness, I will decide for myself which heart to break.

Because winter is coming.

And so is the moment I must choose…
