Summary

For as long as Mera can remember, she and her sister Darina have feared the Beast who lurks in the castle above their village. On countless nights they have locked themselves into their home while the Beast led his hounds on the Wild Hunt, preying on anything in his path. Now Darina has been kidnapped by the Beast, and only Mera can save her. But she soon finds that in the Beast's eerie, magic-haunted castle, nothing is quite what it seems--including her own sister. Here, Mera will discover the dark secrets that have bound her village to the Beast for so long. But in order to set them all free, she will have to face the most dangerous secret of all: the truth about herself.
