Joy spent a lot of time alone as a child. Her only childhood friend was a mysterious boy who claimed to be a butterfly. The very butterfly in fact, that she had rescued earlier that same summer. 

Time passes, and Joy begins to question the existence of her first real friend. Was he even real? After having to back move home during university to take care of the property her grandmother, her only living relative, left her. Joy is visited by the same boy - now a young man. He tells her that she must marry him as she had vowed when they were young, and help him save the forest she played in as a child. If this is not strange enough, the boy has brought with him three other men attempting to woo her for her hand in marriage. In a world full of lies and secrets who can Joy trust? And is she the answer to the ancient Beast's Bride prophecy everyone has been talking about?

(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface. Will Vera and her friends figure out the secrets hidden through their town's history before it's too late?
