As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale

What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast? There's more to that provincial life in this tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast, from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films.

When Belle touches the Beast's enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle's mind—memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants.

Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is twenty-one years in the making.
