"A dark and compelling debut."

"Iron Rose has all the tender romance we love about the Beauty and the Beast tale, but now with a deadlier curse, a tyrannical overlord, a brewing rebellion, and a tough-as-nails protagonist. A riveting take on this tale as old as time."

"Brilliantly told through captivating prose and breathtaking imagery, Iron Rose is more than a fairy tale retelling—it is a feast for the imagination."

 No Kiss Can Break This Curse

 

There is no future for Lydia Brightwood.

The Crimson Lord, a tyrant bent on destroying Lydia’s country, made sure of that. Her only hope of a different life is to find the one person who could unite her country: a royal heir. There’s just one problem… 

They’re all dead.

The Beast’s humanity is slipping away. 

Shut away from the world by a horrible secret, Adam watches the destruction of his homeland from the ruins of a fortress all the while holding the devastating truth in his chest: 

It’s his fault.

Fates interwoven, Adam and Lydia’s paths cross in the ruins of the north where they must find a way to conquer the curse before the country collapses—but being truly human has its price.

"A tale of strength, rebellion, and love strong enough to break the most formidable of curses, Iron Rose is a captivating adventure that kept me guessing until the very last page."

"An exquisitely woven tale by a talented storyteller. This book is a breath of fresh air on a “tale as old as time,” with pacing that pulled me along like a dazzling, golden riptide. Abigail O’Bryan’s storytelling is atmospheric, immersive, lush, and imaginative. I loved this book."

"A heart-wrecking and original twist on Beauty & the Beast... Be prepared—this book will sweep you away."
