My Gently Raised Beast (Novel)

When a keepsake from her deceased mother turns out to be a symbol of royalty, Bondina goes from poor street urchin to princess of the Ates Empire in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, her new life isn't any better: she is forced to live alone in an isolated palace, mistreated by her royal half-siblings, and neglected by her father, the emperor. Everything changes when the lonely princess comes across Amon, a mysterious black cat roaming around the palace. Amon is actually a divine beast revered by the empire, and Blondina's deepening relationship with him helps her overcome her traumatic past. But one last issue remains unresolved: the painful history between the royal family and the divine beasts. Can Blondina and Amon overcome all obstacles and finally establish peace between humans and beasts?
