Long ago, an enraged Hecate cursed her guardian beast and the entire Realm with a slumber only a priestess can undo—and she's counting on Mikki to set things right. The beast at first terrifies Mikki, but soon intrigues her more than any man ever has. Now, the only way he and the Realm can be saved is for Mikki to sacrifice her life-giving blood—and herself...

Mikki is an Empousai, a family who have a connection with roses, her family have been giving blood to the roses for years. Their blood keeps the roses healthy. Mikki feels disconnected with the world and believes that there's something more. When she awakens the beast and finds herself in the Realm of the Rose where the roses are dying she finds a purpose.

Sweet and interesting it's quite a readable story.
