The Demon of the Wood (Fates and Fables #1)

There is a demon in the woods.

Melina lives a harsh life on the edge of the woods, forced to care for her cruel
uncle's every whim. Only the books of daring adventure she reads by
candlelight and the sweet solitude of her forest treks help soothe the
hollowness of her days.

Until rumors begin to spread of a demon, brutal and seductive, that lurks
beyond the tree’s edge. Melina has been warned about demons and she has no
desire to ever come into contact with one.

Until she meets him.

Kaemon lives an isolated life, always watching out for the hunters that target
him, the very ones who murdered his family. Keeping everyone at arm’s length
has served him well and kept them safe from those who would harm him. But
when he stumbles upon the captivating Melina, running for her life, he doesn’t
stop to think, he saves her.

As he is finally forced to let another person in, the dangers of being hunted
grow, along with his feelings for Melina, and the danger of losing another
person he loves.
