About this ebook
Nine years ago, the Beast of Kerawan snatched my sister from the Labyrinth, and I swore a blood oath to destroy him.
I volunteered for the Bride Hunt, sacrificing myself to the Knights of Malus to enter this twisted game where women are hunted like prey and men become monsters. With nothing but my knife and a lifetime of rage, I'll carve my way through this maze to find the beast who stole everything from me.
But then I’m thrown into a cell with him.
A hunter, just like me.
Dangerous, amber-eyed, and infuriatingly arrogant, Bael’s not human, and his enormous body was crafted for war. I should kill him. Instead, I find myself forming an uneasy alliance with this warrior who moves like shadow and fights like death itself.
He saves my life.
I steal his blade.
He promises to help while igniting a fire within me I cannot control.
I should hate him. I do hate him. Yet with every heated glance and forbidden touch, the boundaries between hatred and desire blur until I can't tell where one ends and the other begins.
As we battle through the deadly Labyrinth, facing slavers and monsters alike, a terrifying suspicion grows. The way he watches me. The secrets he keeps. The primal hunger in his eyes when he thinks I'm not looking.
What if the monster I've been hunting has been hunting me all along?
But here's my little secret...
I am not prey.
I am not a prize.
I am their ruin, with fire in my heart and defiance in my soul.
I am the Huntress, and I will have my revenge—even if it means destroying my own heart in the process.
