A kingdom is rife with rumors of the evil that lays in
wait on the fringes of the woods. Fairy tales of curses, animalistic
beasts, and an inhuman prince—Lady Bethel has heard the stories all her
life, but what she once thought were just stories told to keep a child
in line could prove to be so much more.
The daughter of Lord Voril of Banderling, Lady
Bethel spends her time following in her late mother’s footsteps, caring
for the sick in the villages surrounding Banderling Mayne. While
traveling home after dark, against her father’s warnings, Bethel and her
guards are attacked by what she thought were wild animals, but she
couldn’t be more wrong. When she awakens, she can’t remember much, but
she remembers voices. Particularly one—her savior.
Adain has taken it upon himself to hunt down the
beasts that threaten the kingdom. The number of attacks grows, but he
will stop at nothing to end the monsters he knows all too well. Having
been in exile all his life, he must remain the faceless benefactor to
Lady Bethel, despite his growing feelings, for she can never know
the reality of his world.
Tales will be told, truths will come to light, but
above all, love will reign.
Warning! Contains a deep forest retreat, death,
blueberries, possible solutions, attempted kidnapping, and
