Prince Luca has one purpose in life: to be a beautiful, silent bargaining chip. When his parents arrange his marriage to the predatory King Eamon-a man who sees him as nothing more than a collectible-Luca does the one thing he's always done. He runs.
With only his horse Willow and a precious flowerchain tiara, he flees across the border into the wild, northern kingdom of Varruryn. There, hidden among ancient pines, he finds a white house covered in purple flowers. He thinks it's abandoned.
It isn't.
Evreux Ferrox was once Varruryn's greatest warrior. Now, he's a monster-a hulking beast cursed by a witch's vengeance. For ten years he has lived in isolation, watching a magical waterlily lose its petals one by one. When the last one falls, his humanity is lost forever. There's only one cure: true love. And Evreux stopped believing in love the day he buried his heart.
But when a terrified, furious, achingly beautiful prince stumbles into his house, everything changes. Luca is not what he expected. He's a storm of defiance wrapped in silk. He's not afraid of the beast-he's afraid of the cage.
Trapped together, they clash. They burn. They heal. Luca sees the man beneath the fur and claws, the broken warrior who fights bears to save him and collapses at his feet. Evreux sees a boy treated as an ornament, who reads poetry and wears starlight in his hair.
But the petals are falling. King Eamon's soldiers are hunting. And loving a beast means sacrificing a prince's heart.
When the Waterlily Falls is a scorching hot new adult gay fantasy romance where a soft scholar and a scarred warrior find passion, redemption, and a love worth fighting for. But time is running out, and the last petal is ready to fall.
