Bookroo's summary

Holly finds herself in a stunning rose garden, but her guide, the White Cat, is missing. She watches as a man picks a white rose, unaware of the beast lurking in the shadows. As the ballet of Beauty and the Beast plays out before her, Holly senses something is terribly amiss. Can she unravel the mystery and restore the story, or will the beast's shadow consume the tale? Dive into a world where fairy tales twist and reality blurs, leaving Holly to question what is real and what is merely a dance of fate.
