There once was a castle in the woods, claimed by a terrible Beast…
I was a simple girl, living a simple life of cloths and needles, never seeking adventure, glad to dress those who did. But the world is full of magic, and spells never let rest those caught in their thorns.
A rose by any other name…
The tattoo on my hand was dying, the petals falling faster and faster. All because of the curse within the trees, and those held in its thrall threatening to break free.
What would you give up to save those you love most? What would you risk facing in the Darkness of the Woods?
My name is Amarice. And this is my Tale.
So Sweet
Who but a Beauty can Judge a Beast?

ristina is a new veterinarian with a passion for protecting animals. She fought against shelters that euthanize animals to save money instead of creating a robust animal adoption center for older animals. However, her mentor and kindly old Vet who owned the clinic where she interned, died suddenly leaving the business to his son who only cared about making money. He hired a heartless business partner to modernize the clinic. However, with the modernization came an ominous oven de-signed to cremate newly euthanized animals. She read a newly written decree that their clinic had changed its policy on unwanted animals. An incensed Cristina fought hard against the practice and eventually won the hearts and minds of the small community sending the young business partner and the new owner into bankruptcy. During a vacation designed to get her away from the clinic while the owner and business part-ner installed the controversial oven, she met up with ex-hunter, Paul McClaren, her longtime, on-again, off-again, a boyfriend who wanted desperately to get her back full-time. His enduring love of hunting gave her pause in pursuing a lasting relationship. Her loving nature changed his views on hunt-ing once he saw Cristina calm a charging wild cougar just by talking to it. From then on, her beauty and her devout love for animals of all kinds captured his heart and changed his belief in all animal’s desire to live a long happy life. Paul owned multiple no-kill clinics that he inherited from his father who shared Cristina’s love of animals in and around Denver Colorado. Together, they fought to eliminate the practice of euthanasia and longed for a time when both could run a large animal sanctuary. A former zoo with a five-hundred-acre track came on the market and Paul purchased it immediately. He was wary of the inexpensive price but purchased it anyway. However, the former owners didn’t relay the property’s deadly past until it was too late. Read how Paul and Cristina navigate the hellish acres of the abandoned Wingate Zoo. Don’t walk in the tall grass. See how they withstand the horrors surrounding them as they strive to stay alive long enough to find a way out of the cursed acres.
