Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge


EN: Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom—all because of a reckless bargain her father struck. And since birth, she has been training to kill him.

Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, she abandons everything she’s ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, disarm him, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.

But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle—a shifting maze of magical rooms—enthralls her. As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. But even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, could she refuse her duty to kill him?

Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.

RO: Din nastere, Nyx a fost logodita cu conducatorul teribil al regatului ei – totul din cauza unui targ nasabuit al tatalui ei. Iar din nastere, ea s-a antrenat ca sa-l omoare.

Tradata de familia ei, dar obligata sa se supuna, Nyx se opune sortii ei. Totusi, pe cea de-a saptesprezecea aniversare, ea abandoneaza tot ce a stiut vreodata pentru a se casatori cu puternicul, nemuritorul Ignifex. Planul ei? Il seduce, il dezarmeaza si ii rupe blestemul de noua-sute-de-ani pe care l-a pus oamenilor ei.

Dar Ignifex nu e la fel precum Nyx s-a asteptat. Ciudat de fermecator, lordul o ademeneste, iar castelul lui – un labirint in miscare construit din camere magice – o vrajeste. In timp ce Nyx cauta o cale pentru a-si elibera patria prin dezvaluirea secretelor lui Ignifex, ea se trezeste involutar atrasa de el. Dar chiar daca ar ajunge sa-si iubeasca dusmanul, ar putea sa-si refuze datoria de al ucide ?

Bazat pe basmul clasic Frumoasa si Bestia, Cruel Beauty este o poveste de dragoste uluitoare  despre cele mai arzatoare dorinte si puterea lor de a ne schimba destinul.
