Beast has been lost in the dark for two hundred years...
Claire is desperate to prove she belongs in the light...
But the shadow of ancient crimes might just swallow them both.
Claire is the youngest daughter, unwanted and always at-odds with her family. Determined to live her own life, she defies her father's wishes and takes up a life of adventure with the illustrious Questing Guild of Cillure. Right away, she's drawn to a strange quest that has been long-neglected, determined to help in any way she can. But as she grows closer to the somber inhabitent of the manor where that quest is located she finds herself torn between duty...and love.
For two centuries Beast has known nothing but the maonr, locked away by a mad fae mage to pay for the crimes of his past. But when a beautiful quester named Claire arrives at the manor, everything he thought he knew is challenged, spilling light on what was once all darkness and shadow. Like a moth to a flame, he can't stay away - even if he knows he'll only wind up hurting her.
