When the beast becomes my salvation… I have always been an outsider, the village witch who lives alone, feared and shunned by those I once called neighbors.
So when I’m captured and used as bait for the legendary monster terrorizing the countryside, I expect to die alone and forgotten.
I don’t expect to be rescued. The creature that saves me is massive and fierce, with golden eyes and silver fur, but beneath the fearsome exterior, I glimpse something achingly familiar.
This isn’t just any monster. This is Gray, the girl who disappeared from the village years ago, transformed by a curse into something the world sees as monstrous.
But to me, Gray is anything but a monster. She is protector, companion, and something I’ve never dared hope for: someone who truly sees me.
As hunters close in and the village demands blood, I must choose between the life I’ve always known and a love that defies every rule I’ve ever been taught.
Gray may be cursed, but in her arms, I finally feel whole. And I will fight anyone who tries to tear us apart. Some curses are worth keeping. Some monsters are worth loving.
