Evercurse

She wanted the throne. The curse wanted everything. Born second to a crown she was never meant to wear, Celia learns early that fate is cruel-and ambition is deadly. When a twisted creature offers her a throne in exchange for a favor to be named later, Celia accepts without hesitation. Love, power, and blood follow in quick succession. But magic never forgets its debts. As bodies pile up and the kingdom rots from within, Celia discovers that ruling comes at a far greater cost than she imagined-and the curse she unleashed will not end with her. Evercurse is a spine-chilling retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. This story is part of the Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces collection, featuring classic beloved characters twisted into terrifying nightmares.
