'The best fairy-tale retelling I have read' - Read the Write Act
'Utterly Enchanting' - Kate Forsyth, author of Bitter Greens and The Wild Girl
'5 out of 5 stars . . . magical romance at its best' - Sam Hawke, author of City of Lies
*********
I am neither monster nor man - yet I am both.
I am the Beast.
The day I was cursed to this wretched existence was the day I was saved - although it did not feel so at the time.
My redemption sprung from contemptible roots; I am not proud of what I did the day her father happened upon my crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation then I was desperate indeed, and I did what I felt I must. My shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded.
My Isabeau. She opened my eyes, my mind and my heart. She taught me how to be human again.
And now I might lose her forever.
Lose yourself in this gorgeously rich and magical retelling of The Beauty and the Beast that finally lays bare the Beast's heart.
