"Would you still choose to stay... with someone who dreams of your death every night?" *** They say the firstborn child of the Salvino bloodline is cursed. Prince Lucius, cold, aggressive, obsessive, and manipulative. Cursed to become a beast by a powerful woman, he has suffered with his true identity since birth. Desperate to break the prophecy, he grew greedy, searching for a woman willing to give him a son-the only way to turn him into a normal man. Until Astrid Vaelaris, under the name Aster Madelyn, came into the picture.
