Beauty & the Betrayer. Red Origins, #1

SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO TRUST A WEREWOLF... Gerwalta Faust may be the youngest daughter of the Red Matron, but she is no fool. A lupine is nothing more than an animal with the ability to appear as a man. Even if that man is Andreas Baron, and is discovered to be not only kind, but also handsome and brave. No matter, she will maintain her duty: escort the King Wolf beyond the reaches of the Black Forest, assure he reclaims a runaway wolf, and oversee his expedient return to the packlands.
 HE WILL ENDURE A WOLFRETTER... IF HE MUST. Andreas despises the wolf-watchers, but what self-respecting werewolf wouldn't?  They lord over his kind, ruling with silver fists. The last thing he wants is to spend time with one, let alone come to see Gerwalta as something more than the blood red cloak she wears. But the longer he stays in the company of the female warrior, the more Andreas discovers not a beast but a beauty.
Could she ever see him as anything more than wolf? Could he ever hope to win her heart?Each step brings them farther from home and closer to a confession that could doom them both. There is one immutable law among their kinds: it is a crime for a wolfsretter and a lupine to love. A crime punishable by death. Beauty and the Betrayer is the story of Die Verräterin, the infamous betrayer referenced in the urban fantasy fairytale, the Red Chronicles.
