BOOK ONE OF THE CURSED THRONE TRILOGY
Tyler Knighton is evil. At least, that's what everyone else thinks.
Hypatia Dunagin is crazy. At least, that's what she thinks.
In their world, everyone has a curse. Some are simple, like an Echo's would be. Others can be more complicated, unfortunately, like that of a Mons, who transforms into different, random objects unexpectedly. Tyler simply has the rather difficult curse of fire, in which he cannot control when or how he will create flames, but is fortunately not harmed by the fire. And while she is schizophrenic, Hypatia's Curse is living life as a Mute, simply meaning that she cannot speak.
They live their lives apart completely apart from each other, each oblivious to the other's existence.
But when Tyler is faced with difficulties that aren't what they seem, and Hypatia is faced with the prospect of change and challenged by the voices in her head, will fate be changed in their favor? Or will fate change them?
TRIGGER WARNING - stay safe frens
"It's a fairy tale curse Casey," he told me. "A fairy tale curse. A fairy tale cure."
"I still don't understand," I whined like a child. He gave me that beautiful half smile of his.
"It's very simple," he teased. The sun was fading...
"Just spit it out then," I shot back. It was almost gone... so close to gone... he leaned close, so close I could feel his breath on my ear... It tickled a bit.
"Just one kiss to break the spell."
**************
Casey Williams has always sort of believed in magic, but not for the childish reasons most people do. At 13 her brother and father were murdered by someone she was half sure she imagined... a monster. The whites of his eyes were black and the pupils snow white. The color was a hypnotizing golden, almost impossible to run from... but she did.
Now three years later she faces the same monster... only it isn't exactly how she planned their reunion. And she NEVER intended on falling in love with him.
