Once Upon a Time

That’s how most fairy tales start. But this isn’t one of those tales. It has a heroine and a hero, but they’re not what you would expect. Both of them have a bloodlust, one different from the other.

Isabelle was born and raised as a cold killer who takes enjoyment from the kill. Nero is the son of a Viking and a 1500-year-old vampire who has never been denied his pleasures before. That is, until he meets Isabelle. He forces her to exchange her life for Rose’s, his indentured servant and Isabelle’s little sister.

The minute Isabelle walks into his life, Nero is drawn by her fearlessness and strength. He has to have her, but such a woman cannot be possessed - she must be earned.

As they get to know each other, both must learn to give up their carefully earned control to let the other in.

Will Beauty let herself be loved by the Beast?

Has the Beast found his happily forever after?
