A family mystery behind the enchanted rose

Liz Braswell’s reimagining of *Beauty and the Beast* turns the enchanted rose into a link between Belle’s present and memories of her mother. The revelation that her mother is the enchantress who cursed the castle sets Belle and the Beast on a search into their families’ past, centered on a mystery dating back twenty-one years. The familiar fairy-tale premise is reframed around hidden family history and the consequences of the castle’s curse, giving the story a mystery-driven shape within the world of the original film.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For teen and young adult readers interested in Disney-inspired retellings.

Book overview

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.
