Beauty's Beasts

<p>I am not a woman.</p><p><br></p><p>But I am also not a man.</p><p><br></p><p>I won't pretend to be something I'm not but those around me-both friends and enemies alike-are determined to make me. My village is adamant I marry the pastor's son dress like a proper lady and go only by the name given to me at birth. When I refuse they cast me into The Deadwood: an enchanted forest of vines and brambles crawling with deadly demons and wicked magic.</p><p><br></p><p>What I find waiting for me there are no demons like our legends describe but four cursed warriors from another world victims of a spell cast by an evil sorceress. It's said they can be freed from their torment by a human but not just any human one that is neither a man nor a woman. We soon discover I'm the key to breaking this spell but just how I'm supposed to do that remains a mystery. I must get close enough to each of the warriors to somehow lift this curse or we'll all be doomed to spend eternity in The Deadwood.</p>
