Lady of Shadows: A Forbidden Forest Prequel (Forbidden Forest #0.5)

One girl. A forbidden forest. A terrible beast...

Girls go missing in the night—taken by the beast of the Forbidden Forest. A beast that has haunted the town of Hamel for centuries. A beast that is on the hunt for his next victim.

Lady Caelia has shut herself in her manor house for months, hiding from her town’s stinging gossip and her father’s bitter disappointment. She's convinced her life couldn't possibly be any worse.

And then Caelia's best friend is taken by the beast.

On the night of the girl's funeral, Cealia stumbles upon something wicked. Something that leaves her only one possible escape.

The Forbidden Forest and the beast within.

Will Caelia be the first girl to escape the Forbidden Forest or will she fall prey to the beast like all the other girls of her village...
