When she is falsely accused of dark sorcery Yelena is evicted from her cottage and forced into the rot-infested forest...</p><p> </p><p>Yelen is a forgotten tyrant turned into a monster hundreds of years ago and desperate to distance himself from the power-hungry brute he once was... But he craves companionship and an end to his lonely existence.</p><p> </p><p>When the wind leads Yelena to Yelen she discovers a kindred spirit in the aromantic bi-attracted monster and their relationship quickly escalates. But being a guest in a cursed castle with a lonely amorous Beast is not all fun and games - while exploring Yelena makes a disturbing discovery about the rot-plague's source and starts showing symptoms of infection herself. Can Yelen and Yelena work together to find a lasting cure for the rot seeping beyond the castle walls or will the castle's curse claim another victim?</p><p> </p><p><strong>YELEN & YELENA</strong> is a standalone monster-loving 'tour de force' perfect for fans of <em><strong>Beauty and the Beast</strong></em> re-imaginings Silvia Moreno-Garcia's <em><strong>Mexican Gothic</strong> </em>and T. Kingfisher's <em><strong>What Moves The Dead. </strong></em>Look no further for a deeply atmospheric<em><strong> </strong></em>Dark Gothic Fantasy with a Hopepunk core and a sapphic riff on <em><strong>Orpheus & Eurydice</strong></em><strong> </strong>subplot.</p>
