A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Beauty wants answers.Saving her father’s life lands Evanna in the haunted castle of Roseal and a thorny tangle of secrets. A twisted Beast rules here, served by ancient ghosts. They might be just who she needs to fight the invaders in her kingdom—if she can free her peculiar allies of their curse.Unfortunately, they can’t tell her anything about it. Speaking the truth means a terrible end for Beast and ghost alike, but there is one unlikely castle servant willing to risk the game of half-truths and lies to free Roseal. Against all obstacles, Zare must convince Evanna to love the Beast and break the curse. But the more time he spends with Evanna, the more he realizes he’s not ready for the end . . . or to let her go.This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with clean, slow-burn romance and page-turning plot twists. First book in an interconnected world of fairy tale retellings, which can be read alone or together.
