A Curse of Shadows and Ice (Shadowbound, Bk. 1)

From BookTok sensation and USA Today bestselling author Catharina Maura comes a spicy, enchanting Beauty and the Beast retelling that will leave you breathless.

Princess Arabella of Althea has never had a choice — not really. When Felix Osiris, the Shadow Emperor, threatens to overthrow her kingdom, she is left with one impossible option: agree to marry him. It is the kind of arrangement that begins with fury and ends in something far more dangerous.

Felice's empire is not simply powerful. It is cursed. And Arabella, a princess who carries forbidden and volatile magic of her own, may be the only one capable of easing its devastating grip on his people. A deal is struck between them — she will help him minimize the curse's effects, and in return, he will let her go.

But nothing about their arrangement stays simple. As Felix takes on the task of teaching Arabella to control her wild, dangerous magic, the walls between them begin to crack. Hatred is a fragile armor, and it does not hold forever. What replaces it is something neither of them expected — and something both of them fear.

The curse, however, is not patient. It will not wait for them to figure out what they are to each other. And Arabella is beginning to understand that the stakes of breaking it run far deeper than any agreement they made
