About the Book

The eldest daughter is often doomed in fairy tales. But Bella — Isabella Beauchamps, daughter of a wealthy merchant — vows to escape the usual pitfalls.

Anxious to avoid the Traditional path, Bella dons a red cloak and ventures into the forbidden forest to consult with “Granny,” the local wise woman. But on the way home she’s attacked by a wolf — who turns out to be a cursed nobleman! Secluded in his castle, Bella is torn between her family and this strange man who creates marvelous inventions and makes her laugh — when he isn’t howling at the moon.

Breaking spells is never easy. But a determined beauty, a wizard (after all, he’s only an occasional werewolf) and a little godmotherly interference might just be able to bring about a happy ending…

Chelsea K10 / 10

“This book was a great combination of "Little Red Riding Hood" & "Beauty & the Beast". Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites so reading a fairy tale retelling that combined it with another was really fun. This book is filled with interesting characters and intriguing plot twists that will keep you guessing until the end. ”
