The Last Feast by A.X. Cole

Two broken lives. One violent moment. A choice between life and death.

Just as every prisoner is given their final meal, the girl who has only ever been caged diverts from her planned demise for one last feast.
When Auguste stumbles upon the carcass of a deer, he unknowingly attracts the attention of a woman with no future. His decision to take the only possession that Hana has ever owned is done without thought, but he’s unaware that the forest has eyes as he robs her of her only means of safety.
Hana was ready to end her lifelong suffering to walk alongside the devil as a companion. Yet he stole from her. Another man taking what she didn’t freely give, so she delays her end for one night to fulfill her every wish.
Only, the man who was meant to satiate her curiosity awakens new desires along with a far more dangerous emotion. Safety.
The war between the hurt child and the hardened woman she’s become begins as Hana questions if they can both survive in a world that’s only ever isolated them.

Drawn together by violence and silence, their lives begin to intertwine in ways they’ll never recover from. Auguste and Hana must face the question neither dared to ask:

Can two ruined hearts beat for each other?

Run and hide, sweet thief. A devil’s coming for you.
