Now available in paperback from Wendy Higgins, author of the Sweet Evil
series, the New York Times bestselling The Great Hunt reimagines the
Brothers Grimm fairy tale "The Singing Bone" in 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. 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.
