Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Kategori: Dystopia

What if no one were the beast or the beauty?
In the far future, the humans found another planet and relocated to another planet, where magic still existed. Being unfit to live there, the magic tried to help the humans to adapt to the new climate, scaring them to build domed cities, leaving the 'monsters' outside to fend for themselves.
In the cities, things soon deteriorated, making the rulers entering a pact with the dark side of the planets magic, sacrificing humans and making the cities prosper.
In the city of Yuan, princess Isra has led a secluded life. After her mother tried to kill the whole royal family by lighting their tower on fire and then jumping from a window killing herself, Isra has been blind, and suffered from monsterism. Because of her hideousness, her father, the king, hid her in the tower, her maid as only company.
Suddenly, monsters from the outside enters the dome, killing the king, and making Isra queen, and sacrifice to the dark magic.
This is the story of the Beauty and the Beast, in new clothing. Will Isra and Gem, her monster and prisoner, learn to love each other before the day of her sacrifice?
I really do love everything about this story about love that conquers all. You can't help but to feel for the starcrossed couple, both being pulled in directions neither of them want to go. Read it and love it!
