Dean’s retelling has ruined the original story for me – I just want this one!” - Amazon Reviewer Belle “His prisoner… forever? Never get married, or have children of my own? Absolutely not… but what about Papa? He’s already sick, and would die in a fortnight. I have to make the deal. But I have a few conditions of my own.” Sassy Belle is afraid she’s toeing the line between bravery and insanity when she agrees to stay at the castle as Beast’s prisoner, but sees little choice in it. Defying him at every turn, Belle refuses to be part of Beast’s descent into madness, giving the cursed servants, and their master, a slender ray of hope. The Beast “What’s wrong with her?! Demanding that I save her wretched horse and forbidding me to eat either of them… she thinks she can tell me what to do?! Not to mention raising her voice to me over her thieving father and the time he owes me. She’s going to find out why you don’t provoke the beast.” Fully embracing his cursed form, Beast sees little point in pretending to be human anymore. So when this sexy, deliciously curvy beauty lands right in his lap, he intends to take advantage of the circumstances. However, she doesn’t seem to be afraid of him, demanding that he act like a gentleman and keep his mouth, and his tongue, to himself.

     Gothel is a witch. Punished for the actions of her mother, her choice is simple: either she stands guard over Princess Rapunzel—or she dies. But just because a choice is easy doesn’t mean it’s pleasant. Protecting Rapunzel means watching as the princess lays trapped in a tower, bedridden by hair that is so long and heavy it’s slowly driving her insane. Gothel’s life has become one of imprisonment and solitude as well—until a prince and his handsome squire appear at the tower. Only one object can cut Rapunzel’s hair and end the curse: a pair of magical shears. But the shears are guarded by the most terrifying witches in the land, who also happen to be Gothel’s aunts. As Gothel and the prince’s squire, Raj Talmund, work to form a plan, she finds herself more and more drawn to the mysterious young man from the Outerlands. Unfortunately, his destiny is far more dangerous than she wants to admit: to save a princess, he must kill the witch who's been forced to guard her.

    Despite a few variations from telling to telling, the story remains the same—the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life. Another tale far less often spoken of is the one that explains what caused the Queen to become so contemptuously vile. Still, some have attempted to guess at the reason. Perhaps the Queen’s true nature was that of a wicked hag and her beautiful, regal appearance a disguise used to fool the King. Others claim that the Queen might have hated the girl for her resemblance to the King’s first wife. Mostly, the Queen is painted as a morally abhorrent woman who never loved another being during the course of her miserable life.In fact, the theories about exactly what cause the Queen’s obsessive vanity and jealous rage are too numerous to catalog. This book recounts a version of the story that has remained untold until now. It is a tragic tale of love and loss, and it contains a bit of magic. It is a tale of the Wicked Queen…
