Rediscover the ENCHANTMENT in this collection of five different retellings of the timeless classic: Beauty and the Beast.
A ship bearing the souls of sinful sailors drifts upon a ghostly sea. An abbey looms as the final defense between mortals and ghouls of the underworld. In the stillness of a throne room, statues stand forever frozen in a moment of terror. Monsters and men stalk their prey deep in the jungle’s shadows. A rose blooms in the dead of winter, sheltered in the ruins of an ancient Scottish castle.
WITHER - Story #2 in Five Enchanted Roses
Lilybet Haverly is the sort of girl who would rather trample roses than swoon over them. When her father makes a terrible bargain with the Beast of Briarstone Abbey, she runs away in the middle of the night to save her younger sister from a fate worse than death. But when she discovers the true secret of the Abbey and its unpleasant Master, Bet is forced to reconsider everything she knows.
Convinced he has been abandoned and that time is running short, Corwin justifies what he has done to the Merchant and his family. The stakes are higher than anyone knows. He has been charged with a daunting task, to protect a world that does not know it needs protecting. But the girl who comes to him is not what he desired or expected. Getting her to fall in love with him will be the hardest thing he has ever attempted. When the fabric of reality begins to rip apart, Corwin finds himself caught between a girl who despises him and the deadly Underworlders intent on his demise.
And they are both running out of time.

WHEN RAVENS FALL
It is the age of dreams.
When Kenna, the raven, foresees a girl in the Mist, she believes she has finally found the one to break the curse. That has always been her mission, since the day her misguided anger cast the curse than engulfed both her and Odin's son, Baldur, complicating what was already an impossible nightmare. But the girl she sees in the Mist is different than the others who have come for the Trials, than the others who have failed and returned home terrorized by their experience. This girl actually wants to be here.
Astrid, the dragon slayer's daughter, has a plan of her own. She is not interested in dreams and curses. There is only one thing that she desires, and falling in love is not it. After all, some girls were never meant to fall in love.
Baldur, the bear, inherited the gift of dreams from his mother. His dreams are consumed with the one event in his future he cannot seem to escape: his death. For years, he and the Raven have tried to find a woman capable of loving him in spite of his monstrosity, and for years they have failed. The roses are dying and the sky burns red like fire. The times tell the tale of the end.
And the end is always the Dragon.
