King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

In the lands of Kainor some people are born with runes. These runes, scrawled in black at the base of the right side of the neck, grant the person a certain power. These powers can range from cooking to combat and some can be very powerful and others not so much. One girl is born with a different rune, a golden rune painted on her face. The strange rune gives her strange powers. She is able to steal other people's runes. Now a dangerous assassin, Laika travels the lands of Kainor until she is finally captured by the King of Galabee's soldiers. She is used as a brute to strike fear into the King's not so loyal subjects, while she is kept company by the King's two sons. One of whom helps her realize that maybe she is more than just a killer.

**One can be evil, and still have a good heart, just as one can be good but still have a heart tainted by evil.** "There was an undeniable comfort and stability in a stable future, at having every detail of your life meticulously planned out. But even so, there was a part of me, an ever persistent part, that longed to be uncertain, for mystery. If only I had known what that uncertainty would cost me." Lana Eleanor is in trouble. After accidentally revealing her magic, her parents set off to the palace for her execution. In the kingdom of Eerea, there is no greater crime than magic. Betrayed by those closest to her, she tries to escape using her new abilities, only to find that they are now useless. When the notorious Andreas Scott Grigoli saves her, she must choose between two dangerous paths: go with a murderer, or stay and be killed. She chooses to go with him, but remains suspicious of his motives while fighting a strange attraction to the mysterious man. When she learns of a common enemy, she begins to trust him a little more. He begins to teach her magic, but each lesson drives a wedge between them. As new faces and dangers appear, it becomes clear that hiding for her life and trying to master her powers are simple compared to surviving Andreas' mercurial attitude. //special thanks to @ZaraHoffman for the blurb!//
