It 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. Rebel Rose continues the story of one of Disney's most beloved classic Beauty and the Beast. With the fate of her country, her love, and her life at stake, Belle must decide if she is ready to embrace her own strength-and the magic that ties her to so many female rulers before her-to become the queen she is meant to be. But violent factions of the revolution may already be lurking within her own castle, and doing nothing would endanger everything she holds dear. When she stumbles across a magic mirror that holds a dire warning, Belle wants nothing more than to ignore the mysterious voice calling her to accept a crown she never desired. While Belle grapples with her newfound position, there are those who would do anything to keep her from power. But now she finds herself living in a palace, torn between her past as a commoner, and her future as royalty. Not so very long ago, Belle dreamed of leaving her provincial home for a life of adventure. 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 finally broken the Enchantress's curse, restoring the Beast to his human form and bringing life back to their castle in the province of Aveyon. It's 1789 and France is on the brink of revolution. 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. 'Lush and intricate, Theriault breathes new life into the tale as old as time.' -Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Red Queen series Beauty has broken the curse.
