Briars & Blood

--Book One of the Crimson Books Collection--

Briars & Blood is a collection of novellas that rediscover the beloved Beauty and the Beast themes in various fantasy settings.

A wolfman makes a fatal error, leaving his heart iced with guilt, but he's afraid to accept help from the beautiful ward who could melt it.

A man who is half machine is imprisoned by his father and cursed to be stigmatized as soulless-until a servant girl risks exposure to help him reclaim his humanity.

A girl branded as a beast and a boy who dreams of becoming a legend set out to bring magic back to their world.

In a tale inspired by Celtic mythology, a storyteller meets a young man trapped by a curse and must find the story that will save them both.

A handful of beastly excerpts and beautiful bonus content lies in the back matter of the book for those who just can't get enough.

Each Beast has their own curse, and every Beauty their own obstacles. Despite their differences, they must work together . . . or suffer the consequences.

*This collection contains four novellas and novelettes. There are a handful of excerpts in the back matter with the author notes and bios, similar to how some novels have an excerpt of book two in the back. These excerpts are sneak peeks into other Beauty and the Beast inspired stories not included in this collection. Enjoy!
