What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast? There's more to that provincial life in this tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast, from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films.

When Belle touches the Beast's enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle's mind—memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants.

Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is twenty-one years in the making.
Liz Braswell spent her childhood reading fairy tales and going on adventures with her cat in the forest. She majored in Egyptology at Brown University (and, yes, she can write your name in hieroglyphs). After spending the next ten years producing video games, Liz began her career as a full-time writer with a retelling of Snow White called Snow, followed by Rx and the Nine Lives of Chloe King series. She is also the author of Stuffed, Stuffed 2: Into Darkness, and several Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, Straight On Till Morning, Unbirthday, and What Once Was Mine. The New York Times best-selling author lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, and four coffee trees—one of which has already produced a rather tolerable espresso.
