The Witch’s Conviction, The Beast’s Redemption, Vol. 1

THE CRUELEST BEAST OF ALL HUMANKIND Leonardo Nix once dreamed of becoming an alchemist. Instead, he s in a maximum-security prison, languishing in guilt and self-disgust. After all, he admitted to breaking an unspeakable taboo eating his comrades. Then, not long into his imprisonment, he is suddenly transformed into a hideous monstrosity. He flees the prison as guards sound the alarm, but nowhere is safe for such a terrible beast. And though he doesn t want to hurt anyone, a dark hunger for human flesh stirs within him. When all hope seems lost, he crosses paths with Elena the witch, who offers to find a way to break his curse! Unfortunately, there s a catch: as her familiar, he ll still get blood on his hands straying even farther from the path of redemption.
