What some might call beauty, I find monstrous
In the age of the Faerie Queene, Elizabeth I, Lord Francis Rodermere starts to lay waste to a forest.

Furious, the sorceress who dwells there scrawls acurse into the bark of the first oak he fells:

A faerie boywill be born to you whose beauty will be your death.

Ten years later, Lord Rodermeres son, Beau is born and all who encounter him are struck by his great beauty.

Meanwhile, many miles away in a London alchemists cellar lives Randa a beast deemed too monstrous to see the light of day.

And so begins a timeless tale of love, tragedy and revenge

A stunning retelling ofBeauty and the Beast
