In this futuristic retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Bo is the leader of a group of refugees with no homes to return to. It is the time after a great war between the inhabitants of earth and creatures from another planet. Now the humans rely on scavenging the war-torn remains of the blast zones to keep themselves alive. When Bo's father is late returning from a hunt, she knows something has gone wrong. Fearing that he might have taken her request to bring back a now-extinct rose seriously, Bo sets off to find him in the Dead Woods. Only, when she does find her father, she also finds an enemy that was thought to have left the planet long ago. Bo is forced to choose between her freedom or her father, her refugees or a creature she wants to kill with every fiber of her being.

~~Sequel to Bo & The Beast: this story features an array of favorite villains from classic tales, as well as continuing the tale of a beauty and her beast.~~ In her search for Adam, Bo stumbles upon a group of renegades called The Forlorn. Their ranks are made up of villains and bad-guys, and they are seen as scum by the tight-fisted Militia who patrol the city. Not one to shy away from outcasts, Bo joins their ranks in order to get closer to finding Adam. It is while she is getting to know the ways of the Forlorn that she learns of the dastardly Militia leader Clayton's illegal activities as he sells slaves to an insane cult-leader and terrorizes the small settlements outside of the city borders. Though the Forlorn are broken people with dark pasts, Bo determines to throw her lot in with theirs. Together, they will fight the corrupt Militia, protect those who need it, and perhaps Bo may even find her lost love in the process.

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

With Queen Yseult's troops pressing in closer and closer to the castle, Idelle and Torran are running out of time to try and discover the truth of the king's death and what Yseult is planning with her fake peace treaty.
