Beauty's Rose - Shonna Slayton

A boy destined to become a beast...

And a girl determined to save him.

Margot's been invited to the medieval town of Chapais, France for a reunion of the town's descendants.

She plans to stay with her aunt, who lives above the family bookshop inside the ancient walled city.

Little does she know that three fairies have called her there to help a beastly teenage boy break the curse that has plagued his family for generations.

Proud and arrogant, the boy pushes everyone away until Margot finds a way to reach him.

But when they get close to breaking the curse, the romantic summer turns into a nightmare. Can they set the beast free before it's too late?

Beauty's Rose is the latest installment in the Fairy-tale Inheritance Series of historical fairy tales. Set in the 1980s, it is inspired by the 1756 version of Beauty and the Beast by French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont.
