CHRISTIAN WITH A DASH OF ROMANCE. Is beauty a curse? Is it a curse when all everyone sees is the beautiful outside and not the wounded soul hiding inside? The world has never failed to remind Mia Taylor that she's as pretty as they come. Her appearance has been used to the benefit of others. It's no wonder she considers her beauty a flaw, an inconvenient thing that has chained her down. She swears never to do anything to draw more attention to herself but desperate circumstances force her to enter a career in modeling. And even as she lets herself be put on a pedestal, she continues to loathe that quality. But as Mia grows closer to God and good friends, she realizes her beauty isn't a thing to be hated and that she has a right to embrace not just her inner beauty, but her outer beauty.

"I will kill us both, just to make sure that no one else can touch you if I couldn't. Do you hear me, Elysanthe? This world will not fucking have you with anyone else but me, I will raze it all if it tries to. I will have every throat choke up blood, and I will make the ground beneath those feet of yours cave in." ༄ 𝘼 𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚. The year is 1290. Princess Elysanthe Starcrest, the fierce and beautiful sister of Prince Phillip, stands on the precipice of her brother's wedding to Princess Aurora, a union meant to bring peace between kingdoms. But beneath the glittering celebration, a terrible fire has consumed one of Starcrest's cities, leaving hundreds dead and hearts shattered. As whispers of a similar attack rise from a rival kingdom, Elysanthe's world, as well as her already shattered heart, begins to unravel. Caught between duty and desire, hope and heart's torture, Elys must uncover the truth behind the fires that threaten to consume both kingdoms, even if it means coming face to face with the crown prince of that rival kingdom-the thirty years old Prince Varric Desai-who once broke her like glass. With an ancient power awakening from the shadows and old rivalries fracturing under a new threat, the fate of Starcrest-and all she holds dear-hangs in a delicate balance.
