Unfortunately, things do not go as planned and Prince turns into a beast that destroys everything in its wake. Within a short time, he destroys the castle as well as his family.

Just before he turns 18, Rhen hopes the curse will be easily be lifted when a girl falls for him. He is aware that this is the last chance he has; otherwise, he will remain a beast for the rest of his life. While Grey goes out to bring Rhen a girl to break the curse, Harper, a young girl with a difficult life and a heart of gold, accidentally becomes part of the story.

Harper’s life has never been easy. For one, she has cerebral palsy, and this made her brother always underestimate her. Harper’s father was long gone leaving a mountain of debt in his wake, and as if things couldn’t get worse, Harper’s mother was dying. Harper learned to be strong to survive in a world that kept throwing curveballs in her direction. When Harper attempts to save a stranger in the streets, she is pulled into the world of magic.
