Bookroo's summary

In a palace where roses wither, Beauty finds herself in a world of enchantment and mystery. As she navigates this strange realm, the heart of the palace, a glasshouse, holds secrets that could awaken new life. Can Beauty uncover the truth and harness the transformative power of love before it's too late? Dive into a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, where love's magic is both subtle and strong, and discover what lies beneath the surface of a dying world.
