Happily ever after is only the beginning as Belle takes on the responsibility of becoming queen and learns to balance duty, love, and sacrifice, all while navigating dark political intrigue-and a touch of magic.

It's 1789 and France is on the brink of revolution. Belle has finally broken the Enchantress's curse, restoring the Beast to his human form as Prince Adam, and bringing life back to their castle in the province of Aveyon. But in Paris, the fires of change are burning, and it's only a matter of time before the rebellion arrives on their doorstep.

Belle has always dreamed of leaving her provincial home for a life of adventure. But now she finds herself living in a palace, torn between her roots as a commoner, and her future as a royal. When she stumbles across a mysterious, ancient magic that brings with it a dire warning, she must question whether she is ready for the power being thrust on her, and if being Queen is more than just a title.

Rebel Rose is the first in the Queen's Council series, an empowering fairy tale reimagining of the Disney Princesses-and the real history behind their stories-like you've never seen before.

 

I mean, what’s not to love about a Disney princess retelling?! C’mon! And a Beauty and the Beast one at that! I’ve loved Beauty and the Beast since I was little… And I honestly even love the original version by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve–translated into English, obviously. 😉

I can’t wait to see the cover–given Disney-Hyperion’s eye for a pretty cover and that it’s a fairy-tale retelling–I have high hopes!

 

 

 

 

About Emma Theriault

Emma Theriault was born and raised in Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, and thus has a penchant for gothic revival architecture and a constant craving for Beavertails. She has been everything from an enthusiastic bookseller (who once sold a book to Prime Minister Trudeau) to a purveyor of whitewater rafting adventures in the Interior of British Columbia. When not writing books about curses and blood magic, she can be found eating burritos, hiking with her boyfriend or cuddling with her cats, Gatsby and Harriet.

    This is on my list to read as well. B&B is one of my favorites and I went through a span of months reading every original and retelling I could find. I enjoyed them all. I hope we both love this one!
