Once Upon an Enchanted CastleA Beauty and the Beast Retelling
Once Upon a Time… in the provincial town of Driftbell
A reclusive prince doomed to live as part beast, part man. A beautiful scribe with a talent for translating old texts. And an ancient book that could be the key to breaking his curse.
Isabella “Bella” Rinaldi has an enchanting gift—the ability to translate any ancient text from old, forgotten languages. She spends her days in extravagant libraries of the most affluent who pay exorbitant sums for those books and her services. But when her father’s merchant ships are destroyed and their port city home burned to the ground, they uproot and move to a small countryside town to start anew. She leaves behind the ostentatious libraries and her love of dusty scrolls and tomes save one age-old text, filled with cryptic symbols and arcane incantations she has been unable to translate.
The reclusive Prince Leopold has long suffered a terrible curse—to live as half man, half beast. Every full moon, he transforms into a majestic yet fearsome werewolf. For decades, he has looked for a way to free himself from his horrifying transformation but to no avail. When his path inadvertently crosses with Bella in the village’s book shop, he realizes the text she is trying to sell may the key to breaking his curse. He convinces her to keep the book and hires her to translate it for him.
As she delves into its pages, Bella realizes the text holds the key to breaking the curse that bound the beast each full moon. Time becomes their greatest adversary, and the curse threatens to consume Leopold for all time. Their destinies intertwine in ways they never imagine. As she begins to unravel its mysteries, they journey through the pages of a dark enchantment that requires trust, courage, and love—the most powerful magic of all.
Will she be able to unlock the power within the ancient text before it’s too late?
