Tale As Old As Time

Vania doesn't fit in. While the rest of her mountain village lives by tradition, she dreams of far-off lands, dragons, and the kind of love found only in books. But when her guardian, Hailmaar, vanishes during a trade trip, Vania and her dragon Chompy track him down to a ruined, enchanted castle hidden deep in the wilds.
There, she finds a terrifying Beast-once Prince Cole-cursed for his pride and rage. The castle's staff, twisted into animal-human hybrids, are slowly losing their minds to the curse. When Vania offers to take her guardian's place as prisoner, she enters a world of fading magic and unexpected wonder.
As days pass and walls begin to fall, Vania starts to see the truth behind the Beast's roar. But danger approaches-Morro, the arrogant hunter who believes Vania belongs to him, is on his way to destroy the castle once and for all.
Can love break a curse before the last petal falls?
Or will the Beast be lost to the wild forever?
