Clara Wagner knows monsters walk among them, and Prince Raleigh of Rostenburg ranks as the worst. When the cursed prince seeks a wife, Clara catches his eye despite her efforts to remain invisible. Raleigh forces her hand with a brutal proposal she cannot refuse. Then he presents her with an impossible choice: break his vampiric curse before the year ends, or become his eternal bride. Clara accepts the challenge, knowing failure means a lifetime bound to the creature she despises most. She must navigate the dangerous world of curses and magic while keeping herself alive. The clock ticks down as Clara discovers that hatred and attraction can exist in the same heart. Her mission becomes more complicated as unexpected feelings threaten to undermine everything she believes about monsters and herself.
