    About this ebook

    She thought the mountain monsters were just stories… then one saved her.

     

    Kanella is about to get everything she's ever wanted: a home for herself and her father, wealth they haven't seen in years, and a marriage to the love of her life. But then her father falls deathly ill, and the only thing that can save him is a flower that may not even be real. And when she sets off to find it, alone, she finds herself trapped in a mythical temple by a monster instead.

     

    Now she has a chance to find the cure she needs—if she can only escape the monster. Yet as she gets to know him, he seems less like a monster and more like a friend. But time is running out for more than Kanella's desperate attempt to save her father. As the secrets mount in the temple, she may just be able to set everything right again.

     

    But if she fails, she will lose more than her father. Forever.

     

    Beast and Bloom is part of a standalone series of novellas, Seasons of Magic. If you like seasonal stories, unlikely friendships, and atmospheric tales, then you'll love Selina J. Eckert's feel-good Beauty and the Beast retelling. Grab your copy to climb the snow-capped mountains and find a legend today!
