Every shifter, man, and fae has a beast living inside them. Scratching for survival, to be heard, to be loved.
Delphi’s beast is about to meet its master.

In the shadow of the cursed Mistwood, where magic bleeds through ancient trees and mist devours the unwary, Delphi hides her forbidden magic behind healing tonics and herbal remedies. She’s survived her father’s cruelty, poverty’s bite, and the constant threat of burning at the stake—all while dreaming of escape to a life of books and freedom.
But the Mistwood has been watching. And its king has been waiting.

Tenebrys isn’t just a beast—he’s vengeance wrapped in fur and fangs, imprisoned for thirty years by those who feared his power. When Delphi’s father offers her as payment for his own dark bargain, she becomes the key to the Beast King’s freedom… and the target of his obsession.
Trapped in a crumbling château where shadows breathe and magic pulses through every stone, Delphi discovers that her captor isn’t the real monster she should fear. Ancient fae are stirring. Witch hunters are closing in. And the fire burning in her veins calls to the darkness in his.

He claims she belongs to him. She swears she belongs to no one. But when desire meets destiny in a world built on blood and magic, even beasts can become saviors, and queens must learn to rule.
