A war hero. A prince with a secret. A distressed damsel intent on beating the odds. They're not the fairytale characters you're used to.       

​

BELLE: My family lost everything at the start of the Beast War. I've been waiting on my hero fiancé to come home so I can gain back what's mine. Just as the war is ending, a mysterious Prince threatens ruin not just for me, but my fiancé and our whole town too. Everything I've worked for has been destroyed, but I may know a way to bargain with this monster...
 
ANDRUS: I've dealt with the threat Lord Montanarte presented neatly. Now his daughter is here, complicating things with a deal I can't refuse. What began as a problem may end up strengthening my crown ... but the way her eyes haunt my dreams could be my undoing.
 
EDDIE: It's been a bitter struggle to drive the Beasts from our northern border. Victory secured, I'm heading home to my fiancé. But home doesn't feel like the same place I left five years ago, and the person I thought I knew best is turning out to be a stranger. Have I left a war only to enter the fight of my life?

Belle & Beast is a clean, fantasy-romance retelling of the French fairytale, Beauty & the Beast. It is the first book in the Istoire Awakens series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
