A Curse of Hope and Shadows: Special Edition
"You have ensnared my soul, and you are welcome to it."
Grief-stricken following a tragic loss, Adeline Elsing takes on a job as a companion to a young lord afflicted with a horrifying curse. Refusing to be cowed by his sharp tongue or monstrous form, the last thing she expects is to find herself falling in love with him. Through quiet resilience and stubborn kindness, she wins Dimitri’s trust—and soon, his heart. But love does not break curses. And hope, as they both learn, can be the cruelest torment of all.
With war brewing in the south and a king balancing on a fragile throne, Dimitri and Adeline are trapped in a world that will not allow them to belong to each other. Their love is a defiance of fate, of class, of family itself—but as a fortune-teller warns them, ‘Your love for her will crumble houses.’
A sweeping tale of forbidden love and hard-won hope, A Curse of Hope and Shadows is a story of resilience in the face of grief, of bonds tested by war, and of love powerful enough to shake kingdoms.
Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast, Dowton Abbey, or Divine Rivals, this special edition combines all 3 parts and includes extra chapters, bonus letters, and an extended epilogue, totally almost 30,000 words of new content!
