I recently discovered Amy Lane, boy am I happy I did! She is an exceptional author. I loved this story, it's a refreshing take on beauty and the beast minus the predictable ending. The story is about Naef or Knife (his name for himself, you have to read the story to find out why :-) ), and Aerie-Smith, who is cursed. Naef is horribly deformed, his deformity started when he was young, leaving him scared on his face,  a twisted spine, club foot. Aerie-Smith was cursed for doing something quite innocent, he looks like a lion although he walks upright, (Naef thinks he's a lion god).  The way Amy Lane puts these two together, and tells their story, is beautiful, I cried,  I laughed, I was rooting for them to discover the love they both have for each other.  Can I just say I loved the ending, absolutely loved it.  I was concerned the author was going the normal route, I should have known better :-) I highly recommend this story and anything written by this author.
