A Curse So Dark and Lonely
Harper is yanked from a DC alley into a crumbling kingdom where a cursed prince is doomed to repeat the same cycle until a girl falls in love with him. Harper is done being a damsel. Prince Rhen is done hoping. A Beauty and the Beast retelling with significantly more agency than its source material.
A Heart So Fierce and Broken
Grey was the commander loyal to Prince Rhen — now he's navigating a world that wants to use him as a symbol. Book 2 follows him as he confronts what it means to have power and choose how to use it. Many readers consider this the best book in the Cursebreakers trilogy.
