Dancing with the Beast

The shadows of Samhain enshroud Irsteng Castle, where past and present intertwine in a ritual dance. On this night, three fates will converge beneath the bloody moon: Iona. A young healer. Kaiden. A mysterious lord. Veilin. The captive Beast.

For two years now, Iona has worked in a healer’s shop, hoping to save her sick brother. On the night of Samhain, her search for a cure leads her to the castle of Lord Kaiden. By striking a bargain with him, Iona is unwittingly pulled into an ancient sacrificial magic rite. Now she is the owner of the most dangerous Beast—one of those local legends call “lycans.” His name is Veilin, and he promises to protect the girl from trouble.

But even after a difficult journey along the path of the bog-wylder to the bloodied altar, Iona must remember: you can’t trust what hides a monster in its soul… Celtic ritual magic, ancient curses, and broken destinies. One sacrifice that will change the fates of the lycans forever.
