On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowans 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 problemif 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.

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast that I think also incorporates East of the Sun, West of the Moon, and a bit of Briar Rose perhaps. Good, thickly researched and retold, sometimes gets lost in its own story but generally speaking is quite good. 🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍👩❄️❄️❄️🐺
