House of Straw: A Dark Three Little Pigs Retelling

There are no stars without the night.

Cressida is an assassin. A predator. The wolf whispered about in the dark.

Her latest targets are three noblemen secluded in a manor at the edge of Thresher’s End. Killing them should be simple. Ellis practically begs for her blade. Evander seems just as eager to hurt her as he is to have her. And Ezran looks at her with a tenderness she doesn’t understand.

Because Cressida has killed these men before.

Again.

And again.

Trapped in an endless, frozen night, Cressida awakens with the same purpose: hunt the three men and bring their house down. But fragments of another life are beginning to bleed through. Sunlight, stolen kisses, a woman with golden hair, and three men she could have sworn she once loved.

The deeper Cressida digs into her missing memories, the more horrifying the truth becomes. She wasn't cursed because she killed them. She chose the curse to keep them alive.

Now, after years of blood, death, pleasure, and sorrow, Cressida must remember why she condemned them all to this nightmare and find a way to break it before the endless night finally breaks her.

House of Straw is a dark Three Little Pigs retelling blending horror, fantasy, reverse harem romance, and explicit erotica. Expect morally gray characters, obsessive love, graphic violence, dark themes, and a love story where happily ever after may require surviving each other first.

House of Straw features a complete story and can be read as a standalone. The Haunted Fairytales series shares an interconnected world and is best enjoyed in order.
