Beasts and Brutality (Under contract, editing underway.)

Holten is an exiled buck from the Cervidian tribe. A’dann is an outcast Arctosi bear-man. Both are captured by humans and brought to The Beasts’ Gaol, a nightmarish prison used by slavers to break their captives. Can they escape together and find a safe haven in a hostile world, or will they spend their remaining days at the end of an overseer’s whip?

Holten wants revenge. A’dann wants peace and happiness. Liam wants an end to the nightmares that haunt him. But is any of that possible when they’re caught in the wake of two demigods trying to alter life and death at a cosmic level? And that’s just the start of their plans…
