The Lioness
The king killed the love of her life-and she's going to make him pay. Step into this epic revenge tale a la The Count of Monte Cristo, based on the true story of France's most notorious lady pirate. By the author of The Empress-as seen on Netflix. It's 1343 and Jeanne de Clisson is out for revenge.

There's no evidence and no trial-only the execution. The nobles are shocked. The paranoid king is relieved. And Jeanne... Jeanne wants the king's head on a pike. To get justice, she'll take to the sea with a pirate fleet. But while she's burning castles to the ground and sinking merchant ships, the king is hunting her. And the closer she gets to her revenge, the closer the king gets to the people Jeanne loves most. "Griffis has an eye for historical detail and a deft hand when it comes to plotting." - Crime Reads

We Are the Beasts
Deaths and disappearances pile up as a mysterious beast stalks the French countryside and two girls seize an unlikely opportunity that just might save them all—or serve them up on a platter. Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan. When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it’s a curse—God’s punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn’t a curse. It’s an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out. Using the creature’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends’ deaths and hide them away until it’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what they’re doing… If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
