A dark academia retelling of Beauty and the Beast with laces of Greek mythology. 

Lucy is human in a family of powerful sorcerers. Growing up sheltered, Lucy's life takes a turn for the worse when her sister falls victim to a deadly spell.

Hell bent on saving her sister, Lucy marries into a dangerous family of sorcerers and moves to an old gothic chateau in the middle of France, only to find her fiancé is not quite the monster she expected. But with historians disappearing and death magic being used for the first time in history, nothing is as it seems. 

Gods whose names are long forgotten are awakening, and a certain death deity has made her his enemy. 

Torn between love and duty, trapped in a game of madness and death. Lucy's best shot at survival is to embrace her cunning and her cruelty: traits she never thought she might possess as she transforms from a gentle wallflower to a dangerous spy. She is determined to succeed, but what will it cost her?

Important Notice before you start. This book is stand alone. But It's a spin-off of my another mystery-thriller-romance book called The Styles Mansion, where Harry's and Venessa's story takes place as in Eros's parents. A few glimpse of past might get add in this but not fully. For better understanding, you should read, The Styles Mansion first. Thank you enjoy your journey. Eros Styles, a sculpted psychopath by god, who can be stopped by only god. He is emotionless but has that one enthralling smile that would put any woman on her knees. Not to mention his deep dimples that are the icing on the cake. Charm, money and A level genius. He has everything including the urge to hang someone or skin them as he would watch them die slowly. Emptiness is a huge partner for him. He gets bored easily. Nothing holds his attention more than two days or one. Until an albino Fairy stumbled in front of him. What if Aeres Bellamira is his next chase and obsession? Aeres Bellamira, an albino girl who has been living her life in a shell, under the protection of her rich and powerful parents. She has everything. Power, money and fame. But she is unique. Not in characteristics but in appearance that might have put her into a life threat. Her entire life is messed up due to the bully in school and whenever she goes. Her life taught her nothing but pain that led her to be a kind hearted person. No amount of money could put an end to her misery. It became more drastic when she crossed her path with a beautiful narcissist monster, who claims he is obsessed with her.
