Breaking Briar: A Darkverse Shifter Fairytale Retelling

They cursed me to save my people. But who will save me from…him?

As a baby, I was gifted with magic meant to spare us from the wrath of the dragons. Eternal sleep, to be broken only by true love’s kiss.

Nobody could have expected my true love would be the very creature I was meant to be shielded against.

Now, with his kingdom laid to ruin by my father’s hand, the creature seeks his vengeance. My body will bear the penance of my father’s betrayal in the most brutal ways possible.

But I was given another gift. A gift that allows me to not only bear his fury, but revel in it. The more he punishes me, the more my body delights in his rage.

I might even enjoy the moment he finally shatters me beyond repair.

Breaking Briar is a dark romance in the Darkly Ever After series. Please read the warnings to make sure you can handle this story.
