Iron Rose

No Kiss Can Break This Curse.

There is no future for Lydia Brightwood.

The Crimson Lord, a tyrant bent on destroying Lydia's country, made sure of that. Her only hope of a different life is to find the one person who could unite her country: a royal heir. There's just one problem . . .

They're all dead.

The Beast's humanity is slipping away.

Shut away from the world by a horrible secret, Adam watches the destruction of his homeland from the ruins of a fortress all the while holding the devastating truth in his chest: it's his fault.

Adam and Lydia's paths cross in the ruins of the north where they must find a way to conquer the curse before everything they love collapses . . . but being truly human has its price.

I loved it!

This was very different retelling of beauty and the beast because Lydia and Adam were each a beast in their own different way. I loved the promise tree and the hope it represented. I liked the way the curse was broken differently than the original story and the ending was amazingly sweet!
