In the town of Elveton, everyone knows the story of the beast in the woods, with scales darker than the night itself...
Lily never really cared much for those stories, writing them off as stories to scare children. As a farm girl scraping by, she lives a life of peace and quiet. However, women have started going missing in her village, and her friend is worried that Lily may be next. When an accident has her face-to-face with bandits, Lily finds protection with a monster of legend.
Silas is a terrifying beast, not to be trifled with. But underneath that scary exterior he's quite surprising. Together, they both uncover the truth of the missing girls, and about their feelings for each other.
