Before Beauty Brittany Fichter

Can an accursed prince and a broken beauty move beyond their hatred for one another, not only to break the curse and save their kingdom...but to find love as well?




Prince Everard's father spent the boy's youth forging the prince into a warrior. Upon the king's death, however, Everard realizes he's lost himself somewhere along the way, and in his pain, makes a decision that brings a dark curse upon both him and the great Fortress that has so long guarded the people of Destin.




The prince's sin doesn't simply affect those of his citadel, however. Isa, the daughter of a local merchant, has suffered the prince's hasty temper before, and it changed her life forever. When Everard's final outburst cuts off his people's source of protection with the curse, he demands that she, a crippled commoner, come to help him break it. All the while, Destin's northern enemy crouches at the foot of the Fortress's mountain, waiting for the right moment to capture the stronghold that has stood for a thousand years.




Can Ever and Isa move past their brokenness to save Destin together, or will they and their beloved kingdom remain under darkness forever?
