A Curse So Dark and Lonely – Brigid Kemmerer

Every autumn, Prince Rhen of Emberfall relives the same season, cursed to repeat it until a girl falls in love with him — or the curse claims him forever. Harper is a modern-day teenager with more grit than she's ever been given credit for, and when she's pulled into Rhen's world of magic and monsters, she refuses to play by anyone's rules. Together, they must face betrayal, impossible choices, and the terrifying question of whether love can be real when it's born from desperation.

A New York Times bestseller praised for its fresh, fierce twist on Beauty and the Beast, with a ~4.0/5 Goodreads rating. Enemies-to-lovers tension, a richly built fantasy world, and a heroine who never backs down.
