A HAUNTING, WINTERY TALE OF ART, OBSESSION, AND THE PRICE OF LOVE.
This program features multicast narration.
Eighteen-year-old Thorelea Winyard has been a prisoner her entire life, forced to paint dead animals pushed into her cell. She dreams of the world outside her tower and everything she’s been denied. When one of her subjects comes back to life, Thorelea is thrust into a royal court where she can have anything she desires—aside from her freedom.
Here, she learns that the king and queen have ruled for centuries; their immortality is gifted through the power of their court painter, who dutifully updates their magical portraits. It is also here that she meets the sole other mortal of the court: Prince Kelter. Desperate to become immortal so he can join the ranks of the battalion waging war against a neighboring kingdom, he offers her a deal. Thorelea will paint the portrait Prince Kelter has been denied by his parents, and he will help her escape from the ruthless royal court.
They meet each night in secret. As they grow closer, they must face the monstrous realities of Thorelea’s powers. Will she be forced to choose between her heart and her freedom?

Critic Reviews
"Fallen Beauty hooked me from the first page. With its wholly unique magic system and deliciously lush worldbuilding, I was enchanted, smitten, and utterly beguiled. Astrid Scholte is a force to be reckoned with!" —Erin A. Craig, #1 New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows
"Astrid Scholte paints a delightfully dark fairytale about a girl whose gifts thrust her into a deadly world of court intrigue, cruel secrets, and a dangerously handsome prince. With a swoonworthy romance and thrilling stakes, Fallen Beauty is a must read." —Vanessa Len, internationally bestselling author of the Only a Monster series
"Macabre and romantic, this creative and gruesome work explores the hidden costs of power." —Kirkus Review
"Alternately endearing and horrifying, it’s a tale that should appeal to fans of sweeping romantasy with a gothic edge." —Publishers Weekly
