Almas has lived his life under the hungry gaze of a man who would take everything from him. When Lord Uther’s power and privilege land his father in the dungeon until Almas gives him what he wants, Almas turns beyond the confines of his small, submissive village for a savior. Revenge sends him to the deepest shadows in the northern forest looking for a monster of legend, but when the creature he finds there is more man than demon, Almas learns the true cost of vengeance. Its pursuit makes beasts of us all. The instrument of Almas’s revenge, a brute kept in isolation for centuries, is the very person who reminds him what it means to be human, to be safe. But what is safety for himself if he can’t protect his family? Beast’s Surrender, Beauty’s Revenge is a Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring a beautiful youth out for blood, a beast with a red fury waiting to be unleashed, and the sense of safety and acceptance that bring them both back to themselves.
