Princess of RosesBeauty and the Beast Retold

Fairy Tale Adventures #4 / 5
by A. G. Marshall
Princess of Roses: Beauty and the Beast Retold (Fairy Tale Adventures #4) by A. G. Marshall
Unrated

A beastly prince. A beautiful servant. Can two imperfect souls learn to love before the last petal falls?

When a kraken attack leaves her family destitute, Rosemary Mercer strikes a bargain. She will serve Prince Darian for a year to erase her father’s debts. But there is more at stake than money, and the prince’s beastly curse changes more than his appearance. Can Rosemary uphold her end of the bargain without getting caught in the spell herself? A lifetime of selfishness and pride has cost Prince Darian his humanity, his throne, and the means to make it right. As shadows gather around his kingdom, his only hope for redemption is the brave servant who refuses to be intimidated by his monstrous form. But would she still help him if she were free to leave?

 

Can Rosemary and Darian see past appearances and find the beauty within themselves? Or will they be torn apart by a plot much bigger than an evil curse?

Princess of Roses is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and the fourth book in the Fairy Tale Adventures series. These books take place in the same world, but each novel is a stand-alone with a fairy tale ending. Enjoy them one by one or read the entire series to see how everything connects.

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall writes the kind of fantasy that remembers why fairy tales have endured for centuries. Her stories are filled with enchanted forests, hidden kingdoms, clever heroines, and unexpected twists on familiar legends, yet they never feel trapped by tradition. Instead, they explore what happens when beloved tales are viewed from a new angle, allowing old magic to reveal something entirely different.

Long before becoming a published author, Marshall was the child who could always be found in a library, wandering through shelves in search of new worlds. Stories became a constant companion, and writing soon followed. What began as a love of reading gradually evolved into a passion for creating her own adventures, inspired by folklore, fantasy, and the timeless appeal of characters who must discover their own strength.

That lifelong fascination with storytelling eventually found its way into a growing collection of fantasy novels and fairy tale retellings. Her work is particularly known for reimagining classic stories while preserving the sense of wonder that made them memorable in the first place. Whether drawing inspiration from princess legends, magical curses, or forgotten folklore, she approaches familiar material with creativity, humor, and a clear affection for the source traditions.

Outside of writing, Marshall has worked as a piano teacher and professional musician, a background that quietly influences her fiction. Much like music, her stories rely on rhythm, pacing, and emotional resonance. Moments of adventure are balanced by quieter scenes of character growth, creating narratives that feel inviting rather than overwhelming.

Across her books, certain themes appear again and again: courage that emerges from unlikely places, the importance of kindness, the value of self-discovery, and the belief that heroes do not need to fit traditional molds. Her protagonists are often resourceful young women who solve problems through determination and intelligence rather than brute force, making her fantasy particularly appealing to readers who enjoy character-driven adventures.

Today, A. G. Marshall has built a loyal readership among fans of clean fantasy, fairy tale retellings, young adult fantasy romance, and imaginative world-building. Her novels offer an escape into magical realms filled with wit, adventure, and heart, while reminding readers that even the oldest stories can still hold new surprises.
