The Monster They Made

For years, Mavis has lived by one rule: never stay anywhere long enough to be remembered. She is the sole surviving witness to a massacre the kingdom insists was committed by a legendary monster. The truth is far more dangerous. She saw the kingdom's soldiers burn her village and slaughter its people. She saw the creature they blamed arrive afterward, fighting the soldiers and carrying her from the flames. Now the kingdom knows she survived. A bounty has been placed on her head, dead or alive, and one of the realm's most capable bounty hunters has finally found her. Rowan "Cold Eye" believes he is hunting a dangerous fugitive and knows nothing of the truth she carries. Somewhere in the northern forest, the monster himself still remembers the night the village burned. Three people. Three different versions of the truth. One kingdom built on a lie.
