Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bonesāand in her blood. After all, her father is the only hunter whoās ever come close to discovering its secrets. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters out of their comfortable home among the aristocracy and back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, thereās no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas . . . or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yevaās fatherās misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature heād been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast.
Deaf to her sistersā protests, Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territoryāa cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of magical creatures that Yevaās only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin, or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?
