"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

COMPLETED / UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING (THIS IS THE ROUGH DRAFT) "The Legacy" All Rights Reserved Copyright © 2015, Juliette Frost ~*~ The ragged crowing of a bird reached my ears, pulling me from my inner turmoil. Looking up, I found a beautiful raven perched on a stop sign a few steps ahead of me, croaking like he was flustered by something. I frowned, my eyebrows drawing together as I took a step closer toward it as if that would help me to understand what had it so spooked. Deciding to just sleep the night off, I was about to turn in the direction I was headed when once again I saw something move. The alley. I know I saw- whatever the hell I saw- coming from in there. "What the-" A large hand clasped my shoulder from the back, a shrill scream escaping my lips at the contact. ~*~ Cover By: Luna Black @_salacious [07/01/2015-01/03/2019]
