A Poem of Tooth and Claw: A ’Strange Sisterhoods’ Novella

For her warmth, the vampire Celeste is cast from her coven. For her passion, the werewolf Viszléna is exiled from her pack. When these two outcasts - and ancestral enemies - are forced into a tenuous alliance to survive the hunters stalking their steps, they find an unexpected solace in their shared solitude. But as whispered confessions and shared danger ignite a forbidden desire, they must decide if the home they are building in each other is a sanctuary, or a trap that will lead to their ultimate destruction. Conditioned to believe her heart was a weakness, and her love was a perversion, each saw her own soul as monstrous. This is a profound story of two women battling their internalized shame, who become unapologetically strong only when they dare to love the very ’flaws’ they see reflected in each other.
