🌹 ROSEBOUND
A Sapphic Beauty-and-the-Beast Retelling
She traded her freedom to save her father.
She didn't expect to fall for the monster who stole her away.
When Ainslie is taken to the mountain fastness as payment for an old debt, she expects cruelty.
She expects teeth, claws, darkness.
What she finds instead is Kiernan-
the cursed Huntress bound to transform into a Beast each night,
a woman made of winter and secrets,
a protector who has forgotten how to be anything but alone.
The mountain wants Ainslie.
The curse wants blood.
And the last black petal on Kiernan's enchanted rose is already trembling.
But the Beast does not harm Ainslie.
She shields her.
Hunts for her.
Watches her with a hunger that has nothing to do with teeth.
And when Ainslie touches her-
the curse shudders.
Breaks.
Changes.
As the villagers prepare to destroy the Beast,
Ainslie must decide:
Will she flee back to the life she lost...
or risk everything to save the woman she has come to love?
A sapphic romantasy filled with yearning, winter storms, cursemark tension, slow-burn desire, and a love powerful enough to change the shape of a monster.
Perfect for fans of Thorn, For the Wolf, and sapphic Fairy Tale retellings.
