*A Paranormal Romance retelling of Beauty and the Beast*
Blossom Frane is only weeks away from her transformation. On her eighteenth birthday, she’ll
find out her future branch of society and her totem, the animal form she’ll be able to take at will
for the rest of her life. Like her brothers, she’s expected to be a brown bear of the religious
branch known as Terra.
In the Alderwood forests, Blossom’s bear blood is a valuable asset. Any day now, a rival clan
leader will step forward and offer her father a hefty bounty in exchange for her hand in marriage.
Blossom can do nothing more than sit back and wait to be traded to the highest bidder.
Determined to spend her last weeks exploring the Alderwood, Blossom sneaks away and
manages to find Kaide Landel, a rising political star of the Pyro branch. Known for his violence
and disregard for the religious teachings of the Terra branch, he’s all wrong for the bear clan’s
prized daughter. But when the politician uses his wealth and influence to secure her hand,
Blossom has no choice but to leave her family and marry him—if she lives that long.
Reviews:
Beauty and the Beast has long been my favorite old school Disney movie and this book has
some serious undertones with Beauty and the Beast references. Sometimes this doesn't work
so well, but here the references are perfectly placed and pulled at my heart strings. Clarice's Book Nook
I adored the characters (especially Kaide but also Blossom she's such a strongwilled
character!) the story, and McCoy's wonderful and gripping writing style. BooksEnchanted
The story is fast paced and apart from Blossom and Kaide's romance, there is plenty of
suspense, political manipulation and intrigue in Kaide's career as a politician that will affect and
change his and Blossom's lives forever! All this and more is handled with ease by RS McCoy
and I loved her writing style and know that I will be checking out her other books too while I wait
for the next book in this series. NjKinny's World of Books and
