by Barbara Kloss is a lush fantasy romance novella that stands as the fifth entry in the Arranged Marriages of the Fae series. At its heart, it is a high-stakes reimagining of the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau , blending religious allegory with classic "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale tropes. Plot Overview
For seven years, Raquel has trained as an assassin with one goal: kill , the Fae royal who abducts a human bride from her village every seven years. When she "volunteers" as the latest sacrifice to infiltrate his kingdom, she discovers that things are not as they seem. She meets Jake , the "bear-like" prince, only to realize he is not the monster she expected but a man entangled in a desperate battle for a crown and a prophecy.
