Author Description

Pearl will not be subjected to any more of her husband's abuse. On a winter's night, when he is deep in his cups, spewing his usual vitriol, and becoming increasingly more violent, she flees.But when she opens their door to do so, she is greeted by frigid air and snow.Accepting her fate, she takes their horse and gallops into the night away from Caslon. She'd rather die in the cold than by his hand.When she falls off the horse, she knows it has all been for naught, but at least she would die free.Until she awakes in the arms of a not-quite-human being with dark green flesh and horns.
