A Curse of Silver and ScarsA Beauty and the Beast Retelling

The house is cursed. The man is broken. She’s here to file a report—until she falls into their story.

For seven years, the Blackthorn Estate has rotted in silence, sealed behind magical wards and steeped in grief. Prince Corwin—scarred in body and soul—has become a ghost of the man he once was, his crumbling estate reacting to every flicker of his emotional unraveling.

Enter Mira Thorne: Guild assessor, magic expert, and no one’s damsel. Her job is to evaluate the estate’s failing enchantments and leave. But Blackthorn is no ordinary ruin—and Corwin is no ordinary recluse.

The house is alive. The magic is shifting. And something—or someone—is haunting the walls with unfinished love.

Mira expected to uncover corruption, not heartbreak. But the deeper she digs, the more the estate resists—and the more she finds herself caught between the rules she’s sworn to follow and the love story that refuses to die.

A Curse of Silver and Scars is a lyrical, emotionally charged Beauty and the Beast retelling with a slow-burn clean romance, haunted estate magic, and themes of grief, memory, and the cost of choosing compassion over law.
