BEASTLY BEAUTY

What makes a girl beastly? Is it having too much ambition? Being too loud? Taking up too much space? Or is it just wanting something - anything - too badly?

Arabella’s parents ask that she be sweet and compliant so that she can marry well. Try as she might, Arabella can't extinguish the fire burning inside her - the source of her deepest wishes, her wildest dreams. When an attempt to suppress her emotions backfires tragically, Arabella is cursed... trapping her, her ladies of the court and everyone she cares about in her castle. The only way to break it, she believes, is to find a boy who loves her for her true self: a cruel task for a girl who's been told she's impossible to love.

When handsome thief Beau becomes trapped inside the castle, he finds himself drawn like a moth to flame to the mysterious Arabella. Of course, the servants are thrilled, convinced he is the one who can break the curse. But Beau only wants to escape, believing that love is an illusion.

If Beau and Arabella have any hope of breaking the curse, they must learn to trust their wounded hearts and realise that the cruellest prisons of all are the ones we build for ourselves.

Beauty meets female fury in this epic retelling of a classic love story.
