In a world where the color of one's blood determines their strength, Nell Fiala was born exceptionally weak. As a colorless girl, she always thought she'd die young. But her sister has a plan; to save Nell and herself from an early grave and a life of fear, she is willing to consume the hearts of those stronger than them. As a part of her sister's plot, Nell sets off with three powerful warriors: a woman with an invisible protector, a tall man ridden with guilt, and an ex-priest in a dark robe with an even darker past. To unite with her sister in a promised utopia, Nell has to be brave, cunning, and cruel. Although Nell is determined to follow the plan, her newfound freedom and companions may change everything. In the country she finds filled with demons, death, and a secretive religion, Nell must make a choice between her sister, her freedom, and her life.

Years of isolation had made Chrissy give up on being rescued from her prison in the creepy old house somewhere in the mangled dark woods. And if she can't be rescued, she certainly can't be saved - from the curse forcing her to wear a mask for the rest of her life that is. So when a handsome stranger seeks shelter during a winter storm, she has a hard time hoping he can break her curse, especially when she really isn't sure he exists all together. You see isolation can do horrible things to a person. Perhaps the most horrible? Make them lose their mind. A retelling of Beauty and the Beast like you've never read before.
