BRITTANY FICHTER – författare

Can the accursed prince and broken beauty move beyond their hatred for one another, not only to break the curse and save their kingdom...but to find love as well? Prince Everard's father forged him into a warrior. Upon the king's death, however, Everard loses himself in his pain and brings a dark curse upon himself and the great Fortress that has long guarded the people of Destin. The prince's sin doesn't solely affect those of his citadel, however. Isabelle, the daughter of a local merchant, has suffered the prince's hasty temper before, and it changed her life forever. So when Everard's curse cuts off his people's source of protection, and he demands that she, a crippled commoner, help him break it, her shock and horror are rivaled only by her indigantation and even stronger desire to protect her family. All the while, Destin's enemy crouches at the foot of the Fortress's mountain, waiting for the right moment to capture the stronghold that has stood for a thousand years. Can Everard and Isabelle move past their brokenness to save Destin together? Or will they and their beloved kingdom remain under darkness forever? If you want the magic of Narnia and the romance of fairy tales, read this clean fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast today to escape into the Becoming Beauty Trilogy, as well as the Classical Kingdoms Collection, a series of fairy tale retellings with magical mystery, clean, passionate romance, and heroic happily-ever-afters. Author's Note: Before Beauty is an introduction to both series, but it can be read as a stand-alone as well.

What happens when King Everard and Queen Isabelle rescue two abandoned children...only to learn that these children might be the greatest threat the kingdom has seen in 500 years? Henri and his little sister, Genny, have lost their father in Destin's forest when something dark beckons to them. Something sweet. And though Henri tries to use his mysterious abilities to protect his sister, the call soon becomes too strong for even him to ignore. Back at the Fortress, King Everard and Queen Isabelle are enjoying a reign of peace, but their joy is marred by the pain of being childless. So when Isa and Ever find themselves in charge of two forsaken children with unusual abilities, it seems like a dream come true. Unfortunately, young Henri and Genny carry ancient secrets that just might be Destin's undoing. So when Ever and Isa are called to face this new evil, one with unexpected connections to Ever's past, they must trust the Fortress once again if they wish to hold onto their kingdom, their new little family, and ultimately, one another. If you love the magic of Narnia and the romance of traditional fairy tales, The Classical Kingdoms Collection is the series for you. Beauty Beheld, a clean fantasy fairy tale retelling of Hansel and Gretel is the final book in The Becoming Beauty Trilogy and the third book in the Classical Kingdoms Collection. Read it today to discover magical mystery, clean, passionate romance, and heroic happily-ever-afters. Author's Note: Many books in this series can be read as standalones, but this one is best read after Blinding Beauty, Book #2.
