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. For readers who love: Sentient houses with secrets Cursed, emotionally guarded heroes Tragic love and quiet healing Romantasy without spice-but all the yearning
