Bookroo's summary

In a kingdom on the brink, a hidden queen emerges as a new threat. With the curse broken, the protagonist faces not just one, but two formidable foes: the enigmatic queen and the looming demon king. As alliances shift and motives remain unclear, the stakes are high. Will they thwart the queen's ambitions and fend off the demon king, or is their struggle in vain? In this dark twist on Beauty and the Beast, danger lurks, and time is running out. Can love and courage prevail against the shadows of the past?

From the publisher

The final book in the steamy Deliciously Dark Fairytales series, the BookTok bestselling dark romantasy reimagining of Beauty and the Beast, where monsters lurk in the forest . . . and they might just take a bite. I thought once we released the curse, I’d only have one enemy to contend with. Wrong.  The queen lives. Not only that, but she knowingly hid herself from me and the rest of this kingdom until the moment the curse was broken. Now she is back, and her desires aren’t clear. Neither are her motives.  Will she try to take the throne for herself?  We can stop her . . . unless she had a hand in that curse. In which case, will we need to battle her and the demon king before we can finally live in peace? Or has this all been for naught?  Regardless, we have very little time before the demon king returns to wipe us out. This is a dark and spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring an anti-hero, a strong heroine, and a humorous supporting cast. This is an enemies-to-lovers and possible fated mates story suitable for 18+.
