Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.Isra wants to help the cityâs Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuanâs enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.As secrets are revealed and Israâs sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.
