Howl

A Reworking of the Classic Beauty and the Beast
Book 1 in the Fable Series

Maximillian is hounded in the night by the hellish memories of a War long passed and images of the monster he became to fight it. In the daylight hours he is set upon by well meaning family members, friends and court officials. All who seem to think the same thing will cure him of his nighttime maldy. A wife.

Sabion is pursued night and day by the phantom of a life long dead and buried. Visions of her death still flash before her eyes as she struggles through the minefield of the land of polite society that she has been adopted into. Everywhere she turns there is another person hell bent on forcing her into either the grave or a marriage bed. Both options just as terrible as the other.

So it is only natural that when the two meet that they devise a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately their trouble is only just beginning by the time the vows are exchanged and the ink has dried on the marriage certificate. His people don't trust her, she doesn't love him and they're both hiding secrets that could possibly destroy both body and soul.
