Beatrice has lived her entire life under the threat of a horrible curse that has haunted her family for generations; a curse that promises to bring misfortune upon her familyโs future, if she doesnโt marry before the age of 20. It was easy enough to ignore this curse while growing up as it belonged to the distant future, but time is suddenly counting down fast and her 20th birthday is closer than ever. Beatrice is utterly conflicted as she hasnโt discovered true love yet and would much prefer to be a spinster, alive or dead, than entrapped in a loveless marriageโฆ How could she overlook her familyโs fear and her own responsibility for their safety though?
Anthonyโs attention is immediately caught by Beatriceโs striking presence, even though this was the last reason he was out in town for. It was a blessing of pure luck, as he swiftly saved her life by shoving her out of the way of an approaching carriage. However, the rest of his life hasnโt been gifted with as much luck, as the rumours that surround his family name are even worse than the ones of Beatriceโs. Despite him being the only one knowing the real truth behind the rumours, society seems to have already condemned him to shame. Will the sincerity of his growing feelings manage to wash away the concerns that wrap his tainted reputation?
Both Beatrice and Anthony carry their own large portion of misfortune and have faced a lot of prejudice by society. Their feelings for each other might be undeniable, but they still have to face a lot of doubt with their own selves, as well as by those around them. Will their love prove strong enough to fill their hearts with faith and certainty or will their preconceptions be too much to bear? If only society managed to overlook the unjustified prejudice towards them... The obstacles are many, but on the other end lies the redemption of true love. Will Beatrice and Anthonyโs crave to be redeemed by loveโs freedom be strong enough to overcome the endless hurdles in the end?
