ABOUT THE BOOK

When a beast drags Eleanor to his castle to break his curse, will she help the monster who murdered everyone she knew? Readers who love dark fantasy romance, morally complex heroes, and Beauty and the Beast retellings will devour this tale.

Eleanor’s peaceful life as a translator in the Everhall of Aurvale ends the night a monstrous beast tears through her home, slaughtering everyone in its path to reach her. Dragged to Ashenwick Castle, Eleanor discovers her captor is also a man: Gabriel Durnham, Lord of Nytheria, the last Virellian nobleman in a land now ruled by Lysarrian overlords. Man and beast are one, bound by a family curse that will condemn him to wander the earth as a monstrous vagabond unless the curse is broken—or someone else breaks it for him.

Eleanor faces an impossible choice: translate the lost work that holds the secret to Gabriel’s curse and earn her freedom, or refuse and remain forever a prisoner within the shadowed halls of Ashenwick, bound to its cursed master.

Gabriel believes knowledge alone will free him—that understanding the curse’s origins will shatter his chains. But he is wrong. The truth demands far more: he must change himself, reject his darkest desires, and forsake every advantage the beast’s rage and power offer him. Only then can the curse be broken.

But breaking a curse requires more than magic—it demands strength neither of them may possess. Can they destroy the beast, or will it destroy them first?

Beastly Chains is a sweeping epic fantasy that blends the darkness of Jane Eyre, the timeless enchantment of Beauty and the Beast, and the grand battle between good and evil found in The Lord of the Rings. Perfect for readers who crave strong heroines, brooding heroes, cursed magic, and love born from fire.
