Yet when my magical skills begin to emerge and appear more powerful than his own, his jealousy knows no bounds. He seeks to hide me away and banished me to the kitchens until he has a need for me. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn exchange for the opportunity to study under him once more, he makes me an offer - that I put a vague curse on a spoiled boy-king. If I do this, then I can once again resume my place by his side. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly, the curse isn't what I thought it would be. It is darker, more dire, and I hate that I am the cause of this handsome king's misery. Instead of working joyfully beside my guardian, I vow to learn all I can, so that one day I might remove the king's curse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI do this out of guilt, but I also do it because I have fallen madly in love with this once-spoiled king. His kinder nature belies his beastly form. With his wolfish grin and gentle paws, he has stolen my heart. I will do anything to set him free from this curse. Anything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI just need to keep this promise a secret from my guardian . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOr do I?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiscover this Beauty and the Beast fairy tale retelling today!\u003c\/em\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 214\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 18, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47310615412985,"sku":"9798223979357","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/8nOIGnpCnL9798223979357.webp?v=1769369573","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/before-the-cursed-beast-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
