A Curse So Dark and Lonely

A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Ukrainian title: «Прокляття чорне і самотнє») by Brigid Kemmerer opens the Cursebreakers series. Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen of Emberfall thought he could be saved if a girl fell in love with him — but that was before he became a vicious monster obsessed with destruction. Harper's life has never been easy: her father is gone, her mother is dying and her brother underestimates her because of her cerebral palsy, so she learned to be strong enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, D.C., she is pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom. A romantic retelling of Beauty and the Beast with a strong heroine and real emotional stakes, for young adult fantasy readers.
