The Great
Hunt—New from the Bestselling Author of the Sweet Evil
Series
Wendy Higgins, the author of the New York Times
bestselling Sweet Evil series, reimagines a classic Brothers Grimm fairy
tale with The Great Hunt, a dramatic, romance-filled fantasy with
rugged hunters, romantic tension, and a princess willing to risk all to save her
kingdom.
When a monstrous beast attacks in Eurona, desperate measures
must be taken. The king sends a proclamation to the best and bravest hunters:
whoever kills the creature will win the hand of his daughter Princess Aerity as
a reward. The princess recognizes her duty but cannot bear the idea of marrying
a stranger—she was meant to marry for love—until a brooding local hunter, Paxton
Seabolt, catches her attention. And while there's no denying the fiery chemistry
between them, Princess Aerity feels that Paxton's mysteriousness is foreboding,
maybe even dangerous.
Paxton is not the marrying type. Nor does he care
much for spoiled royals and their arcane laws. He is determined to keep his
focus on the task at hand—ridding the kingdom of the beast—but the princess
continues to surprise him, and the secrets he's buried begin to surface against
his wishes.
