Princess Anastasia Rose dreams of attending school, but her plans are put on hold when war begins between her father and the beastly lord of a nearby castle in the mountains.

Prince Alistair isn't an ordinary dragon. He's a shifter afflicted by a curse, unable to become human again until he finds his true love.

When a mortal king's adventurers trespass in Alistair's territory to steal a rare flower, the prince decides to steal a valuable prize of his own.

Author's Note: This is a magical retelling of the beloved tale, written for an adult audience. Listener discretion is advised.

Perfect listen for a Modest Mom

I love a good spin on the classic fairy tail stories. This was just the right amount of "Adult". It was more about the story than the intimacy but intimacy was put in at the right times. I'm very excited to continue with the other versions of the classic fairy tales I grew up with.

Was a fun listen

This started out strong but it almost felt rushed towards the end. I would have loved a more intense battle to round off the story. Overall, it was a great listen and a beautiful take on one of my favorite stories.

It was an average book and performance in my opinion. The story seemed to lack real depth but was a unique spin to the old fairy tale.

A decent Beauty and the Beast retelling

As I make my way through a slew of fairytale retellings (mostly batb) I become more critical. This was a VERY good adult retelling. It isn't the BEST I've come across but it was good nonetheless. Vivienne Savage's spin on this tale and the type of "beast" the protagonist encounters is a unique and exciting approach to the story and I loved it!

Who's a beast?

I love this story of Beauty and the Beast. but who's the real beast? Is it a dragon who takes revenge for the death of his family or a spoiled greedy man who would rape a woman? A man who thinks his title gives him an entitlement to act without thought or mercy.

Good for Anastasia! She is brave enough to fight for herself. Brave enough to believe in what's right and just. May she and king Alastair live forever.

Great production! loved the accents of Vivianne Savage and Shoshana Frank.
