Everyone knows the story.

A handsome, arrogant young prince denied shelter to an old hag only to discover that she was a beautiful enchantress. In return, she turned the young man into a horrible, ugly beast, doomed to stay that way until a woman fell in love with him, and he with her by his 21st birthday.

But now, the story's changed.

Meet Beau, the handsome book-loving son of Marie, the town's inventor (and possibly crazy lady as well), who wants so dearly for an adventure. Constantly hounded by the most attractive young woman in town, Gabrielle, he ignores her pleas for marriage by digging in deeper to his books. When his mother mysteriously goes missing one day on her way to an invention fair, he sets off on an adventure through the forest that changes his life forever.

With a plot following the events of the original 1991 Beauty and the Beast, be our guest and indulge in the genderbender retelling of one of French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve's beautiful stories.All Rights Reserved

"Hah, what an idiot. As I recalled, that beautiful one was more naive and a little foolish despite her looks. There's no way I'll find trouble like her." "What's her name again, was it Bai Qingqing?" The leopard threw her a cold glance, and shouted. "You female! Don't go near us again, I don't want you to hurt Bai Qingqing!" It's like every time he saw her with Bai Qingqing, she always weeping in tears. 'Dude, she cried because you left me in the forest. It's not my fault she's crying over me like she lost her bestie. What a retarded jerk! She clicked her tongue, and rolled her eyes. "Oh well, there's nothing I could do to the foolish ones." "Fate is fate."

Being transported into Beast World, Julie was determined to carve her own path and avoid getting entangled in the dramatic affairs of the beastmen.

At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9
