A witch's curse turns cruel Lord Caspian into a beast, and causes Transylvania to suffer a century of snowfall and blood-shed. When the Hershel men trespass on the Beast's property during a hunt, Lord Caspian captures and threatens them with death. Harlan Hershel offers his daughter Rosalind to the beast for a month to save his sons. But when the Beast sees Rosalind, he believes she is the reincarnation of his late wife and becomes fiercely drawn to her. Though terrified at first, Rosalind grows fond of the abominable lord. The closer she gets to the secrets Caspian keeps, especially of the mysterious stranger in the violin room, the closer she comes to the darkness waking inside her. When Rosalind's true calling is discovered, that she is the one prophesied to kill the lord, her burning desire for him threatens to destroy the person she once was, and all of Transylvania. Rosalind must decided if she is strong enough to destroy Caspian and end his rein of blood, or give into the dark love she has found and become a monster herself. Beauty and the Beast meets Dracula.
