by Liz Braswell · 2016

What if Belle's mother was the one who cursed the Beast? In this third installment of the New York Times best-selling Twisted Tale series, Liz Braswell reimagines Beauty and the Beast with a dark and surprising twist. Trapped in an enchanted castle with the terrifying Beast, Belle discovers there is far more to her angry captor than she imagined when she touches the magical rose. Suddenly, memories flood her mind—memories of a mother she barely remembers and thought she would never see again. Stranger still, Belle realizes that her mother is none other than the beautiful Enchantress who cursed the Beast, his castle, and everyone within its walls. Shaken by the revelation, Belle and the Beast must set aside their differences and work together to unravel a dark mystery about their families—one that has been twenty-one years in the making. A thrilling blend of romance, magic, and suspense for fans of reimagined fairy tales.
