Prince Rhen, heir to Emberfall, is trapped in an enchantress's curse that forces him to relive the autumn of his eighteenth year, each cycle ending with his transformation into a destructive beast. Only a girl falling for him can break the spell. Harper, a young woman from Washington, DC, who has learned toughness through hardship and lives with cerebral palsy, is pulled into Rhen's enchanted world while trying to help a stranger. As she comes to understand the stakes facing the kingdom, Rhen begins to see her as more than another chance at salvation, even as outside forces threaten Emberfall.
