Kingdom of Roses and Flame - Paperback

by Veronica Douglas (Author)

Beauty hunted the beast. He captured her heart.

I've been underestimated my entire life. Too mortal. Too forgettable. Too powerless.

When a dragon captures my mentor, I track it beyond the borders of safety-straight into the grasp of a cursed king who's more monster than man.

He's ruthless. Dangerous. And convinced I was sent to destroy him.

I force him into a bargain: my mentor's freedom for my life. Simple. Except nothing about the king is simple.

A prophecy binds us. His castle breathes secrets. The walls whisper. And every day I spend in his domain, the line between captor and something far more dangerous blurs.

He needs me for reasons he won't explain, and I can't tell if he's keeping me safe-or keeping me close for the kill.

Time is running out. If I don't break the curse, my kingdom burns. But breaking it means trusting the beast I know I should hate.

Kingdom of Roses and Flame is a standalone Beauty and the Beast retelling with an HEA, set in the Fated Fairytales world. Each book follows a new couple and can be read on its own, though readers of Reign of Cinders and Glass will spot familiar faces.

Perfect for fans of Laura Thalassa and Raven Kennedy who love slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, tortured dragon shifter kings, and underestimated heroines who claim their power.

Dual POV, slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance

He's a cursed dragon-shifter king who's sworn off love

Touch-her-and-die obsession

One horse moment

Plus all your Beauty and the Beast favorites, reimagined: an enchanted castle, a masked monster, found family, a ticking clock, the library gift, and an HEA worth fighting for
