Mirabilis
A Beauty and the Beast retelling…
It is one of the immutable laws of their world – sorcery could only be undone by sorcery. Yet the mysterious Lord Devlin pleads for Rosaria to help cure of him of a terrible curse through science and the powers of nature. Terrified by the monstrous appearance hidden beneath his veil, yet intrigued by the challenge, Rosaria accepts and embarks on an adventure for which her scientific education did not prepare her.
Mirabilis is also included in Belle Noir: Tales of Love and Magic.
Excerpt:
“I want to see your face.” The lord seemed to flinch. “Please,” she added as an afterthought.
He made an abrupt sound, as if he was about to say something, but thought better of it. Rosaria stood waiting.
It was he who now lowered his eyes to the floor as he reached behind his head. While he did so, Rosaria slowly put her hand in the pocket of her robe.
He unveiled himself faster than Rosaria had time to prepare.
She uttered a strangled sound somewhere between a gasp and a cry.
