Beast Lord: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

The Beast:

Sir Stefan de Bar is cursed by the old witch, Hecuba, and his curse may just be worse than any of the curses bestowed upon his siblings. After an ambush and seizing Breckenridge Castle, he is left bruised and bloodied and with damage to his face. Hecuba curses him, telling him he is naught but a beast, and when his anger arises, the beast inside him shall start to emerge. If he doesn't find someone to love him for who he is before the last petal falls, he will stay a beast forever.

The Beauty:

Lady Bonnibel returns to Breckenridge to marry a man of her father's choosing. To her horror, she finds her father missing and her castle claimed by a beastly man name Sir Stefan de Bar. She is naught but a prisoner in her own home, frightened since every time Sir Stefan becomes angry, he starts to shift into a beast. All she wants to do is run, but something deep down in his eyes oddly makes her want to stay.

The battle within Sir Stefan can be only be conquered by the last woman in the world who would ever love him.
