Could Belle’s mother be the one who cursed the Beast all those years ago?

Belle is a lot of things: smart, resourceful, restless. Belle also happens to be the captive of a terrifying, angry beast. And that is her primary concern.

But when Belle touches the Beast’s enchanted rose, intriguing images flood her mind - images of the mother she believed she would never see again. Stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful Enchantress who cursed the Beast, his castle and all its inhabitants.

Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast must work together to unravel a dark mystery about their families.
