The Pain of Beauty: A Colorful Fairy Tale of Beauty

Two brothers. One crown. And a final choice that will change every realm.

Winter has devoured the forest where my story began.

The Fairy Queen has Rylan. The prophecy has tightened its grip. And I stand as High Queen beside a king whose heart is as guarded as his throne. I love one brother. I have bound myself to the other. And the war between them is no longer whispered in palace corridors. It is coming.

Rylan is fading in the Fairy Queen’s darkness, his cursed magic twisting into something neither of us can control. The High King grows sharper, more ruthless as the crown demands sacrifices neither of us were prepared to make.

The realms fracture. Fae and mortal alliances splinter. Shadows gather.

And at the center of it all stands the girl who once stole a rose. But I am not that girl anymore.

To defeat the Fairy Queen and end the ancient curse, I will have to choose between crown and heart, duty and desire, light and darkness. Because when the final battle begins in the cursed woods where it all started, one brother will fall. And the one I choose will define the woman, and the queen, I become…

In this epic slow-burn fairy tale retelling romantasy, the love triangle reaches its breaking point as prophecy, power, and forbidden love collide.
