Beauty and the Beast meets Crimson Peak in this gothic genre-blending tale that is as much a love story as it is a story of vengeance.

Corabeth isn't living, she's surviving. In a cursed village, surrounded by misty woods, she is the black sheep, hated for her mother's crimes. When her neighbors turn against her during the Night of the Beast—a night that comes once every thirty-three years, unleashing the Beast upon the village—she is left with nothing but a hunger for revenge.

Rooke, a cursed man turned monster, is a pendulum that swings between bloodthirst and his half-forgotten humanity. Stuck in a cycle, he either needs to break the curse or remain a monster forever.

Fate brings these two together, offering them unexpected solace in one another. But as morality blurs and love teeters on the edge of obsession, Corabeth and Rooke must decide how far they are prepared to go—and what they are willing to lose—to get vengeance and break the curse.
