"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. 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 year 2100, a scientist discovered how to create genetically advanced humans. By inserting certain chemicals into them, these humans obtained advanced skills such as X-Ray Vision, Super Speed, and could even have weapons emerge from their body. This was hailed as the development of the millenium. Thirty years later, the Hybrid Humans overthrew regular humans. Chemicals were now in their genes, which meant that babies could be born with natural genetic advancements, and were thus more powerful than ordinary humans. Those who didn't have the chance to get injected, called mortals, were driven to near extinction. The survivors now hide in the jungles outside the glamorous cities. In these jungles, there exists a young girl, burning with hate, longing for revenge...
