As a twenty-four year old video game designer, making it through college with a boyfriend at her side, and her dream job to work, there was nothing more Kaitlyn could ask for. But behind closed doors of this idyllic life laid an abusive husband, a stressful job, and the knowledge that college had been so tough was it not for her persistent and tough loving parents she would have dropped out. But then again, there are sides to every story, every door leads to secrets and every life is not a paradise. It was commonplace enough that she could trudge through her murky life. Before she could grow lax, somehow, she managed to land herself in a place she could only have dreamed of and the one thing she struggles with is the one thing that will lead to safety.

All her life, Myra Farrow has been obsessed with medieval castles-and the kings and princes who once inhabited them. Now, wealthy videogame designer Steve Bernard wants her to model for a princess character in his new game. Myra can't resist his offer, especially when she learns that Steve plans to film inside the mysterious Hue Castle-a cursed, barren, colorless place forbidden to visitors for centuries. But unknown to Myra, her soul is bound to Hue Castle by blood and sorcery. When she enters its doors, she awakens dark powers that will reach through time-stealing her past, torturing her present, and rewriting her future. 1415... Edward Hue, the last of the Hue royal bloodline, has never stood in the sunshine or held a living flower. Cursed from birth to live in darkness and bring death to all he touches, he is at the mercy of his cruel, tyrannical father, who will not rest until he shatters Edward's soul and makes his son into a diabolical copy of himself. Edward's one hope is the mysterious woman who haunts his dreams-who will either break his curse and bring him out of the darkness, or destroy him utterly. In this modern day retelling of Beauty and the Beast, past and future collide in a tale of love, obsession, betrayal, and the hope for redemption. Once Upon A [Stolen] Time © 2024 by Samreen Ahsan
