SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO TRUST A WEREWOLF... Gerwalta Faust may be the youngest daughter of the Red Matron, but she is no fool. A lupine is nothing more than an animal with the ability to appear as a man. Even if that man is Andreas Baron, and is discovered to be not only kind, but also handsome and brave. No matter, she will maintain her escort the King Wolf beyond the reaches of the Black Forest, assure he reclaims a runaway wolf, and oversee his expedient return to the packlands. HE WILL ENDURE A WOLFRETTER IF HE MUST... Andreas despises the wolf-watchers, but what self-respecting werewolf wouldn’t? They lord over his kind, ruling with silver fists. The last thing he wants is to spend time with one, let alone come to see Gerwalta as something more than the blood red cloak she wears. But the longer he stays in the company of the female warrior, the more Andreas discovers not a beast but a beauty. Could she ever see him as anything more than wolf? Could he ever hope to win her heart? Each step brings them farther from home and closer to a confession that could doom them both. There is one immutable law among their it is a crime for a wolfsretter and a lupine to love. A crime punishable by death. Beauty and the Betrayer is the story of Die Verräterin, the infamous betrayer referenced in the contemporary paranormal urban fantasy fairytale, the Red Chronicles.

To love her is lethal, but how can he live without her? Act II: Seduction A year of separation has done little to discourage a werewolf's heart. Alpha Andreas Baron loves Gerwalta Faust, even if she is his natural enemy, and he will have none other for his mate. If only he can convince her of that before the Grand Matron awards his beloved's hand to another... Gerwalta knows that to give in to her desires would sentence Andreas to death. What she feels is irrelevant. She will not condemn him by falling for his attempts at seduction. When she's given a mission that will take her far from the Black Forest, Gerwalta pushes forward, thankful for the distance. Until she discovers that Andreas will be part of the party, that is. Their purpose: capture a band of seven deadly vampires whose schemes would place werewolves and vampires on opposite battlefields for Europe's two great empires. The true danger, however, arises when the wolf and the watcher, away from the influence of clan and pack, cross the point of no return, changing the course of the supernatural world forever...
