An unbreakable curse. An impossible wager. One chance at freedom-if love can break the spell.
A cursed fate haunts the village of Elk, and when Gesela is chosen to face the monstrous toad at the bottom of the well, she expects a fight for her life. Instead, she uncovers an Elven prince beneath the curse, and killing him draws the wrath of his immortal brothers. Banished to a mysterious glass mountain, Gesela meets the Beast-exquisite, dangerous, and nothing like she imagined. He offers her a deal: if she can guess his true name in seven days, she'll win her freedom. The catch? She must speak it with genuine love, or risk being lost to the curse forever.
Mountains Made of Glass is a dark, seductive fairy tale retelling perfect for adult romantasy fans who crave enemies-to-lovers tension and high-stakes desire. Drawing on classic fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast and Rumpelstiltskin, Scarlett St. Clair delivers a fast-paced, atmospheric romance filled with poetic writing and emotional vulnerability.

Summary
New from Scarlett St. Clair: a deliciously hot and wicked retelling of classic Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Irish fairy tales, first in a series of seven entwined fairy tales.
When Gesela unwillingly kills a toad that lives at the bottom of the town well, she is kidnapped by five Elven princes, her punishment: banishment to their brother, The Beast. Gesela expects to be the prisoner of a hideous monster, but the beast turns out to be exquisitely beautiful, and rather than lock her in a cell, he offers Gesela a deal. If she can guess his true name in seven days, she can go free. Gesela agrees, but there is a hidden catch—she must speak his name with love to free him, as well. Can either of them learn to love in time?
