A Curse of Shadow and Ice

From TikTok sensation and USA Today bestselling author Catharina Maura comes a sizzling and captivating retelling of Beauty and the Beast. A story about a cursed emperor, a scorned princess, and a marriage that could save them all.

Princess Arabella of Althea has no choice. Felix Osiris, the Shadow Emperor, threatens to conquer her country unless she agrees to marry him.

When Arabella discovers that his empire is afflicted by a curse and only she can bring him freedom, they make a deal: she will help him break the curse if he, in return, releases her afterwards.

But the more Arabella gets to know the man behind the reputation of a cruel ruler, the more everything she once believed begins to change. To save the doomed empire, she will have to master a power she never knew she possessed. But some curses cannot be broken without sacrifice—and the greatest of all may be her own heart.
