I thought I was delivering justice. I never imagined I would one day be on my knees before them, begging for their help.\u003cp\u003eBut Kronos has returned, more powerful than ever. His time-loop has sealed off Delerood, trapping my soldiers outside and leaving our people defenseless. The only way to break his spell is with the help of those who once served him-the very monsters I created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlder, with his massive form and claws that could tear me apart... yet when he touches me, it's with a roughness that makes my body betray my mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeacon, whose bitter words cut deeper than any blade, his hatred of me burning as fiercely as the embers in his supernatural eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Horatius, whose secrets I've only begun to unravel, whose quiet intensity draws me in despite the danger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey have every reason to destroy me. Sixteen years of isolation. Sixteen years trapped in bodies they despise. Sixteen years to nurture their rage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead, they offer me a devil's bargain: they'll help defeat Kronos if I submit to their revenge-in whatever form they desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the boundaries between captor and captive blur, and loathing gives way to a heat none of us expected, I begin to wonder if my curse was actually their salvation... or if their monstrous forms merely reveal the beasts that always lurked within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut with Fantasia's fate hanging in the balance, I'll surrender everything-my pride, my body, perhaps even my heart-to the monsters I made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story arc spans multiple books, but each one features a new princess (in reading order)\u003ci\u003e: \u003c\/i\u003eSnow White, Goldilocks, The Little Mermaid, Rose Red, Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, Cinderella, Little Bo-Peep, Belle, \u0026amp; Red Riding Hood \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis series includes: Dragon shifters, Bear shifters, Captain Hook \u0026amp; Peter Pan, Vampires, Monsters and Hellhounds (just to name a few!) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePLEASE NOTE: These books are meant to be read in order, although each story features a different princess, their stories are all tied together so it's best to read them in order. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis series is for you if you love: \u003cbr\u003eReverse Harem Fairytale\u003cbr\u003eFated Mates\u003cbr\u003eComplete Series Fairytale Romance\u003cbr\u003eAlphaholes\u003cbr\u003eTouch Her and Die\u003cbr\u003eObsessive Men who are ALL IN\u003cbr\u003eSupportive Girl BFFS\u003cbr\u003eForced Proximity\u003cbr\u003eCaptive Romance\u003cbr\u003eEnemies to Lovers\u003cbr\u003eForbidden Romance\u003cbr\u003eDamaged Heroes\u003cbr\u003eAlpha Males and Strong Heroines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H.
