Maya has been lied to and betrayed by those she loves. She’s learnt first-hand that appearance doesn’t always make the monster. Some of the worst atrocities she’s seen were actually committed by humans. After meeting the King Kai of Saren, she’s left with a choice that threatens to tear apart everything she knows. Returning to the city of Vaella, Maya continues her search for the missing child slaves whilst trying to decide the best course of action. With her mates at her side, she’s stronger than ever before, except there are secrets and heartbreak around every corner. Can she see through the lies and make the right choices to break her curse, or will she succumb to her monster and let her heart turn to stone? Is there really such a thing as a happily ever after for a monster such as her? *This is book two in the Venom and Stone duet, which is part of the Cursed Women universe.
