This is a unique beauty and the beast retelling with in the Fae realm. 

The Fae realm is separated into the four seasons, and each season is ruled by a prince. All 4 princes live together in a special castle in the center of the realms. The castle and its inhabitants are all cursed to shift into animals at night. To break the curse the 4 princes must find their true mates and accept their love. 

Roselina is a bookworm who has never felt accepted or at peace in her home. Her father is never home, always searching for his missing wife who he believes is in the Fae realm. She feels indebted to a boy from her home, even though he treats her horribly, she stays. 

It’s not until she finds the Fae kingdom that she starts to finally feel like her true self. This book follows the story of her finding herself and finding the curse surrounding the lands. It ends on a cliffhanger and a devastating moment. I can not wait to read book 2 to see where all the relationships go from here. 

This is a why choose novel with MMFMM. MM and MF explicit scenes, mature 18+
