Being selected is supposed to be an honor. Skarlit knows she'll be dead within 48 hours.
The Reaping is a tradition the small village of Raven's Edge is forced to participate in by the neighboring Court of Roses. Deliver medical supplies before winter and get treated like a King.
The Reaping was how Gran died. A beast ripped into her flesh and she never returned.
Now, Skarlit's name is called, and nothing can be done.
But when she meets the supposed beast of Emerald Forest, he's not vicious or aggressive. If anything, he's protective over her - until he bites her, that is.
And yet, Skarlit survives.
There's more to this tradition - and this beast - than people are willing to admit, but as Skarlit continues this adventure, she learns that secrets have a price, that stranger can be more valuable than gold, and that some beasts are beautiful on the outside. If she's going to be the first Selected in Raven's Edge to survive, she cannot allow herself to be a fool and trust a wolf in sheep's clothing - even if he's the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.
