In Beauty, she broadens her territory even further, with a novel that evokes all the richness of fairy tale and fable.

Though Beauty is able to sidestep tragedy, she soon finds herself embarked on an adventure of vast consequences. For it becomes clear that the enchanted places of this fantastic world--a place not unlike our own--are in danger and must be saved before it is too late.
