Sinopsis

In the idyllic world of the Twelve Realms, where echoes of ancient magic linger in shadow, Princess Caityn’s life is a flawless tapestry destined to unravel. On the eve of a joyous union with her betrothed, Prince Theiandar, her beauty-both inner and outer-is stolen by a malevolent thief forgotten in time. Stripped of her charm and kindness, Caityn and all who love her are plunged into despair as her future hangs in the balance of uncertainty and acts as a dark harbinger of things to come.

Theiandar alone remains undeterred and determined to reclaim the woman he loves. With a protesting Caityn, and aided by his loyal knights, Caityn’s elder brother, and her fiercely devoted best friend, he unwittingly jeopardizes their lives on a quest to break the mysterious curse. The thief’s growing desperation to stop them leads to conflict fraught with hidden snares, and their doubts run heavy in the face of formidable foes and cruel setbacks. But time is running out in their search for answers.

The Beauty Thief is a fairytale-like fantasy adventure full of devotion and sacrifice, where the bonds of friendship and the power of love are challenged in a battle against the grip of doubt and one man’s twisted desire for eternity. Be captured by a world reawakening to long hidden magic, where every moment counts, and true beauty is a battle worth fighting for.

Reseña del editor

The Twelve Realms exist in peace where for the beautiful and kind-hearted Princess Caityn, life is perfect. Even her betrothal is to the man she loves, High Prince Theiandar. She is surrounded by loving family and is protected from all harm. That is, until a masterful thief invades Caityn’s unspoiled world and steals away her very essence.  

Dark and looming in the shadows lurks this thief of forgotten lore full of archaic secrets and a magic hidden in the distance of time. His purpose and power is long forgotten, but his desire is alive and strong, ready to steal the one thing which sustains his life: true beauty. Princess Caityn's beauty embodies everything he has ever coveted, and before it can be tainted he plans to steal all of it.

Prince Theiandar’s love for Caityn is strong and true, but can he overcome every obstacle to save his betrothed? Can her life, beauty—her very soul—be restored? Or will she be lost, hideous, and destitute of love until her dying day? 

The Beauty Thief is a beautiful, fairytale-like introduction to the new YA series, Chronicles of the Twelve Realms, where a people who’d forgotten magic existed in earnest are learning that, though hidden, it has never been more alive.
