Publisher Description:

A far off castle, a terrible curse, and a magic mirror... How much do you really know about the tale of Beauty and the Beast?

Belle was content with a quiet life among books and caring for her sisters. But when a mysterious letter brings hope that her father is not only alive but imprisoned, she must trade herself to save him. She doesn't expect to end up wanting to break her captor's curse, but when she finds out what is needed, she knows she can't do it.

King Marcaus will do anything to break free of his curse and the one who cursed him, even marry someone he would never have considered before. But Belle is nothing like he expected. When Belle refuses his proposal on his behalf and asks for her freedom, he is torn.

Appearances can be deceiving and time is running out. Can Marcaus and Belle heal the scars of their pasts and break the curse?

The Once upon a Story series consists of interconnected standalones that can be read in any order.
