An Enchantment of Thorns

A Fae Beauty and the Beast Retelling (Court of Fairy Tales Series, Book 1)

By: Helena Rookwood, Elm Vince

Narrated by: Lucy Brownhill

A fae beast. A wild beauty. A curse that could doom them both.

As town greenwitch, Aster's dedicated her life to defending her people from the nightmarish fae of the forest. Yet despite her best efforts, each year a girl is taken as a tithe by the Beast who rules the Folkwood. None ever return.

And this year, the Beast claims Aster.

Trapped in a cursed palace, taunted by mischievous, invisible servants, Aster despairs of ever making it home. Then the Beast offers her a bargain—if she can restore his rose garden and break the curse on his court, he will set her free.

But healing the enchanted garden requires more than just growing flowers. It forces Aster to open her heart and face the shadows of her past to discover a power of her own . . .

In doing so, she sees a softer side to the Beast's savage beauty and dark magic. As feelings blossom between the two of them, Aster faces an impossible choice: her people or her heart.

Can Aster break the curse? Or will she doom the Beast—and her people—forever?

Loved the story and the twist on the beloved fairytail

It was a lovely twist on the original with some great plot twists thrown in. I do wish they had spent more time with the magic side though and more information on her learning. as the first in the series it keeps me wanting more

Very close to beauty n beast

It was captivating and I enjoyed the story. The narrator was good but can better with different voices.

Fun

I greatly enjoyed the narrator. The book is a fun twist with a lot of unique embellishments to the traditional story

Great story!

Great story but it ends in a sort of cliffhanger. Now I need to find out what happens...
