Since I was young, Ive dreamed of running.
I can hear the pounding of my steps on the forest floor. Im being chased. Its right behind me.
But Ive always been safe in the care of my coven, the witches who are my sisters and mother. I have always been told the rules, and Ive obeyed.
Stay on the path. Dont Talk to strangers. Dont go into the woods.
Still, something is happening. Its the eve of the Spring Equinox, the eve of my twenty-first birthdayand I have to run.
Im about to break every rule Ive learned. Im about to leave the path and go deep, deep into the trees that call my name. Because I have to find them—The Beast King.
