But violent factions of the revolution may already be lurking within her own castle, and doing nothing would endanger everything she holds dear. When she stumbles across a magic mirror that holds a dire warning, Belle wants nothing more than to ignore the mysterious voice calling her to accept a crown she never desired. While Belle grapples with her newfound position, there are those who would do anything to keep her from power. Now she finds herself living in a lush palace, torn between her past as a commoner and her future as royalty. Not so very long ago, Belle dreamed of leaving her provincial home for a life of adventure. But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep. Belle has broken the enchantress' curse, restoring the Beast to his human form and bringing life back to their castle in the principality of Aveyon. It's 1789, and France is on the brink of revolution.
Happily ever after is only the beginning as Belle takes on the responsibility of becoming queen and learns to balance duty, love, and sacrifice, all while navigating dark political intrigue - and a touch of magic.
Torn between two worlds, neither of which she truly belongs. "Lush and intricate, Theriault breathes new life into the tale as old as time." (Victoria Aveyard, number one New York Times best-selling author of the Red Queen series)
