Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn is back with magical twists on four fairy-tale favorites, each featuring a little help from Kendra, the witch from Beastly, as she searches through cities and centuries for her lost love.

Now available in paperback and featuring retellings of favorite fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rumpelstiltskin," "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," and "The Ugly Duckling," Kendra’s adventures in Beheld are filled with fresh fairy-tale fun from beginning to end.

Since she first beheld James over three hundred years ago, Kendra has tangled with witch hunters and wolves, helped a miller’s daughter spin straw into gold, cowered in London as German bombs fell, and lived through who knows how many shipwrecks.

But her powers have limits, and immortality can be lonely. Kendra isn’t ready to stop searching for the warlock she met centuries ago.

With the help of her magic mirror, Kendra will travel the world to reconnect with her lost love—and, of course, she can’t help but play a hand in a few more stories along the way.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A love that lasts through the ages . . .

I first beheld James over three hundred years ago. Since then, I have tangled with witch hunters and wolves, helped a miller’s daughter spin straw into gold, cowered in London as bombs fell, and lived through heaven knows how many shipwrecks.

I once even turned a boy into a beast in order for him to discover kindness and true love. But you know that story.

I have survived it all as a powerful witch. But powers have limits, and immortality can be lonely.

I have helped others find love, but my own true love is lost to me.

Now I am in Miami, uniting yet another couple for yet another romance.

Still, I seek my own true love, looking for the one I have always . . .
