The Devil’s Flame by Beth Ann C. and M. L. Hancock is a dark fantasy romance steeped in the haunting elegance of Beauty and the Beast.
Prince Hakon is a man who wanted everything — love, power, and the ability to protect those closest to him. In desperation, he makes a bargain that strips him of feeling and leaves his world shrouded in gloom.
Enter Hekla, a woman who has spent her life folding into the shadows, longing for someone to truly see her. Hakon not only sees her — he chooses her. His choice feels deliberate, fated, and as essential as breath.
But every bargain demands its due. When the curse comes to collect, the fallout shatters Hakon. What remains is a broken, bruised man willing to sacrifice anything to bring Hekla back.
This story unfolds like a symphony: it begins with a slow, haunting melody and rises into a powerful crescendo. By the final pages, you’re left breathless — battered by the cliffhanger, aching for Hakon, and fearful of what the curse will demand next.
This book is absolutely without a doubt one of the most amazing amazing books I have ever read from the twists and turns of the story to the beauty and the beast aspect it gives you everything needed and wanted. Hekla shows that anyone can love if they truly want to and Hakon shows the power of what it is like to be cursed and still find love.
