❄️ A Dark Retelling of Beauty and the Beast – Where Death and Life Must Unite to End an Eternal Winter. She runs from me... But I will always find her. I am Death, a knight bound to the shadows, cursed to roam this world as a skeletal husk of the man I once was. I cannot be killed. I cannot feel warmth. And with my curse, the land has withered beneath an eternal winter. No mortal can touch me and live… Until Linora Beckett. She touched me and survived. Now, I must betray my queen, chase my temptress across the kingdom, and defend her from those who would see her destroyed. But winning her heart? That is the greatest battle of all. ✨ His despicable manners reflect his soul… but our union could save all humankind. I am Life, yet I feel dead inside. My powers should be a gift, but the world calls me the White Witch, treating me as an omen of doom. I never asked for my magic, nor for the queen’s demand—that I mate with Death to break the curse. To bring back the sun, I must surrender my body and soul to the one being incapable of love. If I fail, the kingdom will remain trapped in endless frost. If I succeed? Our child will either restore the light—or plunge the realm into eternal darkness. But how can I give myself to a monster when my heart still clings to hope? 🔥 A Dark Fantasy Romance Perfect for Fans of: ✔️ Beauty and the Beast retellings with a wicked twist ✔️ Hades & Persephone-style love stories ✔️ Forced proximity & enemies-to-lovers slow-burn romance ✔️ Cursed heroes, morally gray love interests, and forbidden love ✔️ Gothic fantasy, witch magic, and high-stakes adventure ⚠️ WARNING: This book contains a brooding, dangerously possessive Death Knight, a fierce heroine who refuses to surrender, a steamy slow-burn romance, and a battle between light and darkness that will leave you breathless. 🌙 THE DEADLY KNIGHT RISES is the gripping first book in the completed Spring of Beimeni dark fairy tale fantasy series.
