About this listen

On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowan’s father returns from an ill-fated hunting trip bearing a single, white rose. The rose is followed by the Huntress, a figure out of legend.

Tall, cruel, and achingly beautiful, she brings Rowan back with her to a mountain fastness populated solely by the creatures of the hunt. Rowan, who once scorned the villagers for their superstitions, now finds herself at the heart of a curse with roots as deep as the mountains, ruled by an old magic that is as insidious as the touch of the winter rose.

Torn between her family loyalties, her guilty relief at escaping her betrothal to the charming but arrogant Avery Lockland, and her complicated feelings for the Huntress, Rowan must find a way to break the curse before it destroys everything she loves.

There is only one problem...if she can find a way to lift the curse, she will have to return to the life she left behind. And the only thing more unbearable than endless winter is facing a lifetime of springs without the Huntress.

Well worth the read
The reader took awhile to get used to, a few chapters in and it became apparent that her voice and style was perfect for the story

I've been looking for a fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal dystopian world that most importantly has a kick ass female lead with a female love interest and a happy ending. This delivered on most accounts and surprisingly in the way that matters for me.

I certainly hope there are more books like this out there. and if not then to the writer please write more.

Lesbian romance at its best
