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 he 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's secretly relieved: out in the wilderness, there's no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronesses; 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.
