Of Roses & Thorns

Seven years ago, Prince Casimir disappeared. Many blame the beast who attacked the castle and drove everyone out of the forest.
But now the king and queen have no heir. The kingdom is falling apart. Scared villagers turn to violence and rebel against the crown.
Out of both options and hope, Rose and her father decide to brave the forest in order to reach their family on the other side. They spend the night at an abandoned castle and her father makes a terrible mistake. But Rose will do all she can to protect her family from the wrath of the beast.
This is a story of sacrifice, bravery and love.
