Happily ever after is just the beginning as Belle embraces her role as queen, balancing duty, love, and sacrifice amid dark political intrigue and magic. In 1789, France teeters on the edge of revolution. Having broken the Enchantress's curse, Belle has restored the Beast to his human form and revitalized their castle in Aveyon. However, the fires of change in Paris threaten to reach them. Once dreaming of adventure beyond her provincial life, Belle now finds herself in a palace, caught between her past as a commoner and her future as royalty. As she navigates her new position, powerful enemies seek to thwart her rise. When she discovers a magic mirror that offers a dire warning, Belle is tempted to ignore the mysterious voice urging her to accept a crown she never wanted. Yet, violent factions of the revolution may already be infiltrating her castle, and inaction could jeopardize everything she loves. With her country’s fate, her love, and her life at stake, Belle must decide if she can harness her strength—and the magic connecting her to past female rulers—to become the queen she is destined to be. This story is the first in the Queen's Council series, offering an empowering reimagining of the Disney Princesses and the real histories behind their tales.
