Monstrous
About this ebook
The city of Bryre suffers under the magic of an evil wizard. Because of his curse, girls sicken and disappear without a trace, and all live in fear. No one is allowed outside after dark. Night is when Kymera comes to the city, with a cloak disguising her wings, the bolts in her neck, and her spiky tail. Her mission is to rescue the girls of Bryre. Despite Kym's caution in going secretively, a boy named Ren sees and befriends her . . . but what he knows will change her world forever.
- A Frankenstein-Inspired Heroine: With a ravenâs wings, a snakeâs tail, and bolts in her neck, Kymera believes she was created to be a hero. But the truth of her creation is a secret sheâs not prepared to uncover.
- An Unlikely Friendship: When a boy named Ren discovers Kymeraâs secret, he offers a kindness sheâs never known. But his own connection to the cityâs curse could be the key to her undoing.
- A Dark Fairy Tale World: In the cursed city of Bryre, girls disappear without a trace and everyone lives in fear of the night. It is a world reminiscent of the Brothers Grimm, where not all monsters are what they seem.
- A Secret-Keeping Dragon: Deep in the forest hides an ancient dragon, a lonely survivor who calls Kymera âsister.â He may be her only true allyâor another part of the wizardâs devastating lie.
