Kill the Beast

by Serra Swift · 2025

When Lyssa Cadogan’s brother is slain by a faerie‑born monster called the Beast, she vows to avenge him. Thirteen years of hunting rogue fae and their abominations have left her hardened, but the Beast itself remains at large. Her quest takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Alderic Casimir de Laurent, a flamboyant dandy whose reckless charm hides a surprisingly useful find: a claw from the creature’s lair, the key component for forging a weapon capable of ending the Beast’s immortality. Together they chase the remaining ingredients for the deadly blade, each step revealing secrets the other is desperate to keep. As danger mounts, an unlikely friendship blossoms, forcing Lyssa to choose between the cold promise of vengeance and the fragile hope of redemption—knowing that either path could seal their fates.
