New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner spins a thoroughly thrilling Beauty and the Beast story for the modern age expertly woven with spellbinding romance intrigue and suspense that readers won't soon be able to forget.
Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bones-and in her blood. After all her father is the only hunter who's 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 there's no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas . . . or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva's father's misfortune may have cost him his mind and when he goes missing in the woods Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he'd been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast.
Deaf to her sisters' protests Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territory-a cursed valley a ruined castle and a world of magical creatures that Yeva's only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty or the Beast?
