Before Beauty: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

The Classical Kingdoms Collection, Book 1

De: Brittany Fichter

Narrado por: Kimi Weldon

Can a cursed prince and a broken beauty move beyond their hatred for one another, not only to break the curse and save their kingdom...but to find love as well?

Prince Everard’s father spent the boy's youth forging him into a warrior. Upon the king’s death, however, Everard realizes he’s lost himself somewhere along the way, and in his pain, makes a rash decision that brings a dark curse upon both him and the great Fortress that has so long guarded the people of Destin.

But the prince's sin doesn’t simply affect those of his citadel. Isa, the daughter of a local merchant, has suffered the prince’s hasty temper before. So when Everard’s outburst cuts off his people’s source of protection with a curse, and he demands that she, a crippled commoner, come to help him break it, she's far from charmed.

All the while, Destin’s northern enemy crouches at the foot of the Fortress’s mountain, waiting to capture the weakened stronghold that has stood for a thousand years.

Can Ever and Isa move past their brokenness to save Destin together, or will they and their beloved kingdom remain under darkness forever?

Wonderful retelling

Beauty and the beast is my favorite fairy tale and this retelling Fichter is wonderful and unique. The captivating story is made even better with the beautiful narration by Kimi Weldon. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the series in audio.
