"If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns that it bears" - Isaac Hayens
We all know the story: Αn innocent beautiful girl meets a miserable and mean boy, who is cursed to be turned into a hideous beast, and is forced to live with him to save her father's life. But what if roles are reversed?
Adam and Belle meet at the school prom for the first time. This is when two completely different worlds collide! Belle is the female version of the beast and Adam the male version of Belle. When Adam realises he falls for Belle, he will do anything to be with her, but neither of them knows about the bond that connects them. But what happens when the past is revealed? But what happens, especially, when the present they live in, is the past they were unknown of?
Full of mystery, adventure, fantasy and romance, this variation of "Beauty and the Beast" is based on the very known homonymous story, but changes completely the characters' personalities and the plot, succeeding in giving the reader the idea of reading a completely different story.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
