Sinopsis: En el principio era la
oscuridad, y en la oscuridad había una niña, y la niña había un secreto ...
En la ciudad abovedada de Yuan,
Isra la princesa ciega, una Piel Suave, es criada para ser un sacrificio humano
cuya muerte asegurará la vitalidad de su ciudad. En el desierto fuera de Yuan,
Gem, una bestia mutante, lucha para salvar a su pueblo, los Monstruosos, de
hambre. Ninguno de ellos soñó que, en conjunto, podrían devolver el equilibrio
a sus dos mundos.
Isra quiere ayudar a los
desterrados de la ciudad, ciudadanos de segunda clase despreciada por poseer
rasgos monstruosos. Pero después de que ella recluta la ayuda de su prisionero,
Gem, que ha sido capturado mientras intentaba robar las rosas encantadas de
Yuan, comienza a cuidar de él, y a cuestionar todo lo que le han hecho creer.
Conforme se revelan los secretos y
la vista de Isra, que desapareció durante su infancia, Isra tendrá que elegir
entre el deber a su pueblo y a la bestia que ha llegado a amar.
-Tengo muchas ganas de leer este libro porque me gusto la sinopsis y porque amo las versiones modernas de los cuentos clásicos. Además de que la portada es preciosa.

Synopsis: In the beginning was the darkness, and in the
darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...
In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.
Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.
As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.

-I really want to read this book because I liked the synopsis and because I love the retellings of classic stories. Besides the fact that the cover is beautiful.
