Brigid Kemmerer started the series on the pattern of Beauty and the Beast but it is not the same thing anymore because much has been added to it now. The curse was broken by Harper and then the issue of the true heir emerged on the scene along with the attacks from the enemy that wanted to take over Emberfall.
Kate Handford, Davis Brooks, Matt Reeves and Melissa Bayern have narrated A Curse So Dark and Lonely and A Heart so Fierce and Broken and now they come to the final chapter with the same style. The battle is on and the time to remain in the hiding is over now. The land has divided into two parts, on one hand are the forces that believe that Rhen is their ruler and the people on the other side think that Grey is the true heir.
Grey is planning for an attack but he has decided to delay everything for two months. Rhen on the other hand has no clue what he should do to keep himself on the throne. Harper has been trying to help Rhen as she has done in the past but Rhen is not sharing his feelings with her on this occasion.
Lia Mara also has a dream to become the queen just like her mother but for this she has to land in the battlefield and prove her worth in front of the people of her land. Everything will get settled after war this time and both sides have weaknesses which they cannot ignore. Harper thinks that she can play the key role once again if she is given an opportunity by Rhen.
