Prologue

Aimee Belhumeur thought all she ever wanted lay beyond her provincial life. After all, she's known to be the biggest dreamer in all of Fabre, and even the small town feels suffocating for her ambitious flights of fancy.

But when her father becomes involved with a mysterious beast in exchange for a rose (a gift she herself requested of him), she takes it upon herself to venture into the endless forest in search of this strange creature who has dared to take the one she loves.

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast, adapted from the original versions and true to the story you thought you knew.
