House of the Beast

In House of the Beast, Michelle Wong's dark fantasy debut, young Alma navigates a treacherous path after striking a deal with an enigmatic god for revenge against her aristocratic family. Shunned as a bastard and burdened by her mother's death, she sacrifices her arm to bind herself to the powerful Dread Beast, her estranged father's godly vessel. Now trapped among relatives who despise her, Alma must harness her connection to a hauntingly beautiful, unseen prince and embark on a perilous journey marked by divine rituals, intense combat, and the quest for vengeance in a world rife with dark magic and familial betrayal.
