Falsely accused, Wynne is determined to clear her name. However, a trip to petition the Steward at Brighthelme turns disastrous when the Beasts, fearsome warriors from the frozen north, raze the city. When Wynne is carried away, she's determined to regain her freedom but Rune, her captor, has other ideas.
Beast is set in Prydain, an imaginary place that combines Anglo-Saxon England with Medieval England, the Teutonic Kingdom and the Viking Age.

For Mature Audiences. This is a graphic, lusty fantasy. It's darker than the usual AJ Adams but it is a Happily Ever After.

Beast is the first of the Prydain series but it can be read as a standalone. It is a complete story, no cliffhangers.
