Morgana - A Tale of Beauty And The Beast

BOOK ONE IN THE SERIES: "Behind The Veil".

A retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Morgana is a Fae coming of age and just learning of her powers and who she will one day become. When her father, a low-cast fae leaves to obtain riches and ends up not only losing all his fortune, he gets lost in an unknown wood. He is lodged in a hidden, spell-ridden castle for the night. When he plucks a rose for Morgana as it is all she asked for, a beast emerges and demands his life as payment for the life of the rose. Her father pleads for mercy on behalf of his daughters and why he took it. The beast lets him go under the condition that either he returns, or his daughter who asked for the rose. Hearing of what befell her father, Morgana leaves for the beast's castle against her father's wishes. When she arrives she not only finds the beast and his castle, but learns of the curse put upon it that only she can break. The problem is what it demands may be too much for her... and if she does how will she ever come into her own magic?
