In the wild gray mountains that surrounded the village Aurel lived an animal far older than the stones that housed the humans below… An ageless mountain beast, a tenacious human maiden, and a tale as old as time. This mature retelling of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST reimagines the fairytale from the perspective of the beast. Can a wild beast allow himself to fall for his human bride? Can a woman turn her back on humanity and embrace her desires? At 7700 words, GIVEN TO THE BEAST is an erotic romance that contains a consensual M/F relationship.
