Camellia Beauregard is a Belle.
In the opulent world of Orléans, Belles are revered, for they control Beauty,
and Beauty is a commodity coveted above all else. In Orléans, the people are
born gray, they are born damned, and only with the help of a Belle and her
talents can they transform and be made beautiful.
But it’s not enough for Camellia
to be just a Belle. She wants to be the favorite—the Belle chosen by the Queen
of Orléans to live in the royal palace, to tend to the royal family and their
court, to be recognized as the most talented Belle in the land. But once
Camellia and her Belle sisters arrive at court, it becomes clear that being the
favorite is not everything she always dreamed it would be. Behind the gilded
palace walls live dark secrets, and Camellia soon learns that the very essence
of her existence is a lie—that her powers are far greater, and could be more
dangerous, than she ever imagined. And when the queen asks Camellia to risk her
own life and help the ailing princess by using Belle powers in unintended ways,
Camellia now faces an impossible decision.
With the future of Orléans and
its people at stake, Camellia must decide—save herself and her sisters and the
way of the Belles—or resuscitate the princess, risk her own life, and change
the ways of her world forever.
