In the city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra is raised to be a human sacrifice. Her death will ensure her city's vitality.

When Gem is captured for trying to steal Yuan's enchanted roses, he becomes a prisoner of the city. Isra enlists his help, and soon begins to care for him--and to question everything she has been brought up to believe. . . ."Engrossing tale . . . [an] intense love story." --Kirkus Reviews
"The bones of the classic Beauty and the Beast story are all here, imaginatively fleshed out with tropes from science fiction, fantasy, and even political drama." --The Bulletin, Recommended "Jay's characters are well-realized . . . [the] setup is intriguing and her writing assured." --Publishers Weekly "Revelations and plot twists keep the action flowing and romance growing. . . . A satisfying read for fans of romantic fantasy." --School Library Journal

Review:
School Library Journal, August 2013:
"A satisfying read for fans of romantic fantasy." Justine, August/September 2013:
"The romance in this book is as lush, wild and thorny as the magic roses that protect the doomed city of Yuan! This re-imagined version of classic Beauty and the Beast is all the more addicting because the two man characters are misfits who slowly develop their love through shared goals, secret whispers and intense chemistry."
