Beautiful Beast

She was beautiful, she was deadly. A warlord queen, cold within, ethereal without. Upon her last battlefield, wounded and tired, she still fought by her people. The leader of her enemy troops lay beneath her blade, his peace offering violated, his life soon to be forfeit. He looked up at the frigid warrioress and spoke a curse upon her. Her flesh writhed into a new shape, every piece twisting painfully to render her internalized beast.

Beauty removed, what once was a frigid woman became a hot-tempered, feral creature of spite and anguish. No longer could her people see her as their protector, and as her kingdom eventually abandoned her, she sank into the shadows of her castle. Just as her people abandoned her, so too did Time.

Centuries later, an ambitious flower saleswoman, Heni, finds a foothold in the business with rare blooms that grow in the abandoned woodland ruins. The extravagant garden that thrives within the castle grounds offered not only a new source of income... but perhaps something more.

Join Heni in her struggle to win the affection of Jzen, warrior queen turned beastly gardener.
