Can you hear him? The beast is coming . . .
Most girls know to stay far away from the Forbidden Forest and the beast who prowls beneath its wicked boughs. A beast who steals them away in the night, never to be seen again. To go after those girls is to risk madness or death.
Larkin is not most girls.
The forest circles her family's land on three sides. With her father constantly drunk, her mother enormously pregnant, and her sisters either too young or too crippled, there is no one else to plant the crops that will allow them to survive another winter. If only it would stop raining. If only she wasn't so hungry.
But when Larkin finishes for the day, she realizes the little sister she was supposed to be minding is missing. Her muddy tracks don't just lead to the Forbidden Forest. They go inside. Most girls would scream. Run for help.
Larkin is not most girls.
She knows no one would help their poor, disliked family. Only she can face the forest and its beast. Only she can bring her sister back. And so she does something no other girl before her has ever dared: enter the Forbidden Forest.
What she discovers beneath the trees will change everything she thought she knew. And now the beast has had a taste of her, he will never stop hunting her. Not until she's his.
Will Larkin fall in love with her beast or escape him?
