Book one of the Crooked Realms Series

All things must die... but hope dies last.

Brenna James grew up hearing stories of a great monster that prowls beneath the full moon. Half-man, half-beast. A tale created so children never wander too far into the forest. Yet she's one of the few that knows the stories are true. She and her family have been hiding in the mortal realms her entire life. Until one fateful night changes everything. 
Brenna is whisked away to the world of Crescent- a land of equal magic and malice. Separated from her family, she's forced to strike a deal: Pretend to love the realm's lord until the Embassy Gala in December or she will never see her family again.
As she navigates a court of deception and secrets, Brenna battles between learning the truth about her past and fighting for a future where she and her family will be safe.
