Mirabilis by Ava Zavora. It is one of the immutable laws of their world – sorcery could only be undone by sorcery. Yet the mysterious Lord Devlin pleads for Rosaria to help cure of him of a terrible curse through science and the powers of nature. Terrified by the monstrous appearance hidden beneath his veil, yet intrigued by the challenge, Rosaria accepts and embarks on an adventure for which her scientific education did not prepare her. #BeautyandtheBeast #fairytales #ebook #romance #fantasy

No Loyal Knight and True by Ava Zavora: There’s something strange about the girl Ryan meets in the forest. Perhaps it had to do with the tower she lives in by the lake that’s not supposed to exist. Moved by her friendship, he makes her a rash promise he fails to honor. Only until years later does Ryan discover the repercussions of his forgotten oath and what befell the girl in the tower. #fantasy #romance #magic #paranormal #gothic #LadyofShalott #Tennyson #ebook #fairytale Free Kindle Books, Paranormal, Loyal, Short Stories, Knight

These curses may be broken, but never completely destroyed, sharp slivers of light distorted." - Transfigured by Ava Zavora #gothic #romance #fairytale #BeautyandtheBeast #fantasy #ebook Real Fairies, Mockery, Tea Stains, All Or Nothing, Happy Endings

Transfigured

"Some curses fade and leave nothing but the faintest mark, a tea stain on watered silk. There are those that are so malevolent that, upon defeat, explode in a fiery burst of sulfurous flames, burning everything they touch as they die. Others dissolve like morning mist in the brightness of the midday sun." - Transfigured by Ava Zavora #gothic #romance #fairytale #BeautyandtheBeast #fantasy #ebook

"Passersby below would feel a chill and look up, then startle when they see a stone creature about to leap from the side of the building above them, its face a silent scream, but they always moved on after a momentary shudder. Pigeons sat on top of her forbidding head, unafraid, then shat. The sun and moon made their orbits in the sky and icy stars glittered." from Grotesque in Belle Noir by Ava Zavora #ebook #gargoyle #fantasy #grotesque #gothic #NotreDame Silent Scream, Unafraid, Gothic Architecture, Looking Up, Icy, Notre Dame, Monument Valley, Cathedral
