Cruel Beauty is the first book of the Cruel Beauty Universe series, but I don't know how many books there will be or what will the stories be. But on the first book you really get the feeling of Beauty and the Beast. But not the sweet story that children read. Not even a Brother Grimm vibe. In this book we meet a world where the sun doesn't shine anymore, just gives a little light to a village that is under a dome for hundreds of years. All because of the Gentle Lord. He is a demon that can make your wishes come true but not without a price. And be careful what you wish for because you never get whatyou trully want. Nyx's father made a deal with the Gentle Lord, for him and his wife to have children. And the Gentle Lord wants one of his children when they grow up. But he didn't ask for his wife to have a body that can survive the birth. And after giving birth to twins, she dies.
Now Nyx must go live with the Gentle Lord, Ignifex, as his wife. But when you know your future, you train all your life to do what you have to do to save your village. And that means killing Ignifex. But what if Ignifex is not the real monster everyone is wishing dead? What if he is just another victim in this story? You' ll see!
