Bitten

Vanessa Hart plans on breaking each and every one.

A fast-paced and romantic fantasy debut, in which a girl must survive ruthless werewolves, a glittering court, and deadly politics to exact revenge on the monsters who destroyed her. Perfect for fans of Belladonna, Crave and Powerless.

The night her best friend is brutally slaughtered by wolves, Vanessa Hart's life is changed forever. Because these are no ordinary wolves . . . they're werewolves. And soon Vanessa faces an agonising transformation into one of them, as well as a deadly choice: swear her life to the seductive, yet cruel, Wolf Queen's Court, or suffer a lone wolf's death.

Whisked away to the enchanted Castle Severi, Vanessa cannot forget what has been taken from her, not even when she meets the mesmerising golden prince Sinclair Severi, and his brooding, disgraced cousin, Calix, whose smouldering gaze hides even darker secrets.

As Vanessa seeks her vengeance, she learns that all is not as it seems. The Court is at war, and she may simply be a pawn in its lethal game . . .

About the Author

Jordan Stephanie Gray is the debut author of Bitten and a long time daydreamer of the fantastical and the romantic. Prior to writing professionally, she spent most of her young adult life consuming any book she could get her hands on - especially if said book had lots of kissing. Local to Florida, though sadly the part of the state without any hot supernatural men, she spends her time either camped outside on her laptop or in front of the television with her four dogs, partner, and child.
