Beast & Crown series.
Cursed into half-beasts by a ritual, Ji and his friends are gradually becoming even less human. Fleeing the Summer Queen's minions, our heroes make a desperate journey to break the spell before they are sacrificed to empower her fanatical heir. This stirring sequel to Beast & Crown considers weighty questions about morality, conflict, and the measure of one's worth, bolstered by the strong bonds of the heroic quintet.
