Sébastien Saint Germain carries a curse that has transformed him completely. The peace accord between the Fallen and the Brotherhood lies in ruins, pushing these immortal factions toward open warfare. His devotion to Celine extracted a terrible cost, but she too has suffered for their bond. Celine struggles to heal from wounds received during a night that remains clouded in her memory. Her sleep brings disturbing visions she cannot understand. Unknown to her, she has triggered events that could destroy her and reveal truths about her nature she is unprepared to face. Ancient forces have waited centuries in darkness for precisely this opportunity. As Bastien and Celine start to grasp the threats surrounding them, they discover their love itself might drive them apart. The second book in The Beautiful series continues their story amid supernatural conflict and dangerous revelations.
