When Prince Azahr's brother dies, he is thrust into the role of future
heir to the throne. Despite his best efforts, it quickly becomes
apparent that nothing he does will ever make him good enough to replace
his brother. In the absence his beloved brother left behind, a dark void
created by anger, frustration, and fear begins to open within him. And
in that void, a beast is born. On the eve of his eighteenth birthday,
Azahr refuses hospitality to a faery. She condemns him with a curse that
will haunt him and threaten his very humanity; a curse that empowers the
beast and sets it free. Exiled from his home, he takes refuge in a
forgotten corner of the kingdom. Then, one day, the door opens and Kiara
steps inside, bringing with a heretofore unimagined hope of breaking the
curse. If he can just keep himself together long enough for Kiara to see
in him the man he could, and may yet, be. Human Again is the fourth in a
five part companion series that rewrites the classic tales of happily
ever after.
