Bride of the Briar Beast: A Twisted Beauty and the Beast Retelling

To save her family, she offers herself to a monster, and the bargain demands blood, obedience, and desire.

On her eighteenth nameday, a young woman from a fading household enters Briarhold to pay a debt her family has carried for years.

The castle feels alive with old magic and older rules. The lord of Briarhold wears horns, claws, and a curse rooted deep in his blood. He demands obedience. He offers safety. He awakens a hunger she never expected to face.

Desire grows alongside fear, and the line between captive and chosen bride starts to blur. The servants watch with guarded eyes. The forest presses close. The roses keep secrets.

As the bond between beauty and beast turns dangerous and intimate, hidden enemies close in. The greatest threat might not be the monster in the halls, but the part of her that wants him more than freedom.
