The Golden Bell

When Rowe is traded to a monster in exchange for flowers of pure gold, she never expects to fall in love.

*** Temporary hiatus ***

It is said that in the mountains, there is a river that flows upward. And all along its shores are flowers with petals of pure gold. But the river is guarded by Draenen, a beast of flame. He will char your heart and eat the ashes.

When Rowe is kidnapped by thieves and offered to Draenen in exchange for three hundred golden flowers, she never expects that the monster will accept. Now she must find a way to escape, before her own heart is devoured.

But when the light of sun is gone, things are not all that they had seemed. Who is the beautiful young man she glimpses amid the flowers? It is not only from being eaten that Rowe must protect her heart.
