Nesrin Ahmadi needs a dragon's egg, no matter the cost.
The money from its sale could cancel her family's enormous debt and keep them in the lavish lifestyle they're accustomed to. Only one problem. A dragon's egg is incredibly rare; and no one has ever found one fully intact before.
After years of searching, she's about to give up, when creditors come to threaten her family. Climbing to heights she's never dared to go before, Nes risks everything to find an egg…
…and finds a dragon instead.
The Cursed Hunter is a loose "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Set in a world that humans share with mermaids, dragons, and the elusive Jinn, this is not the fairytale you remember…
