Bellarose and the Beast

Bellarose and the Beast

Magical Library. Distorted fairy tales. Time travel.

Bookworm Bellarose, egotistical Gerard, geeky Quinn, and mysterious Elayne are thrust into a fairy tale through a magical library. The problem? Most of these eighteen-year-olds’ memories have been wiped clean of life before they became characters in a familiar, but twisted story.

In this first tale, despite insulting banter and recent grievances, Bellarose must join forces with Gerard to break the curse the enchantress Aerowyn has placed on a hexed plantation. The stakes? Those they care about will be cursed forever. The unknown price? They will be stuck inside the warped fairy tales where they may become the villains.

Read this teen fantasy series for action, adventure, wholesome romance, and many nods to Beauty and the Beast.

Pirate ship. Sea witch crafted typhoons. Mermaids.

They still have no memories of their real world as each teen is forced to play out an adventure—some aboard a ship and some on an exotic island. Dangers surround them as they battle mythical creatures and face inner demons. Since Aerowyn’s curses have caused the stories to be warped, villains who should not have existed are thwarting the enchantress’s plans to fix the tales with no end in sight.
