Beautiful Savage by Caroline Peckham

“When they tried to destroy her, they forgot one thing… I’m the only monster who rules this mountain.”

WINTER
Bruised.
Bloody.
Bound.
I lost everything the day they took me, my memories, my voice, my soul. I couldn’t tell them what they were so desperate to know, no matter what they did to me.
Now I’m free, lost on this wild and snowy mountain with no one in the world to call upon.
I don’t know who I am or where I belong, but I know what I want.
The single purpose I have left is to destroy the vicious men who held me captive. The Five: Jax, Farley, Quentin, Orville, and Duke.
All I need is a weapon powerful enough to take them on. And when I find it, I’ll be the one watching them scream.

NICOLI

I’m the shadow of two men and the total of none.
I abandoned everything in Sinners Bay.
Because I’m not the man I used to be.
Fate guided me to her that day in the snow. This fragile creature covered in scars with the will of a warrior shining within.
The torture she’s faced can never be set right, but I’ll give everything I am to destroy the men who hurt her.
I was lost and alone before I found her. But maybe I can find redemption in making them bleed for my savage girl.
And once I lay their heads at her feet, I’ll cast my tattered soul down with them too so she can decide if my sacrifice is great enough to cleanse my body of sin.
Vengeance whispers their names on the wind and I’ll answer its call with all that I am.
