No one should ever go into the woods alone. Brielle has grown up listening to tales of a beast that attacks humans, leaving behind only a scattering of bones and limbs. It's probably the elders' way of keeping little children in line, but it doesn't explain her grisly premonitions of blood, claws, and severed heads. But when Brielle finds a mangled body in the woods, she begins to wonder if the grim stories may actually be true. Soon, Lord Kenrick, Knight of the Crowhurst Order, arrives asking questions about the legendary monster. Brielle's attraction to him is immediate and undeniable. She volunteers to help him search for clues to the creature's existence, despite her suspicions about his timing. As her 17th birthday approaches, Brielle's nightmares worsen and more villagers go missing. If Brielle doesn't figure out the connection between Kenrick, the beast, and her visions, more people will die. As Brielle falls deeper in love with Kenrick and deeper into the snares of the abominable beast, she'll become part of a legend so great, no one will ever question its validity again.
