One curse won't cure another. Or will it? A proud enchantress finds out in this clean fantasy romance about the enchantress from “Beauty and the Beast.” I never should've tampered with a magic mirror, especially not that one. I'm not sure my reasons were wrong—though many would say they were. Either way, my intentions were for the good. But the fact remains that I—a beautiful, wealthy, talented enchantress—am now trapped in the body of an old hag, my magic sealed. The mirror that cursed me said I had a task to perform, that my fate will be tied to another's. But what am I to do? To whom will I be tied? Will I ever find my way back home? The Rose and the Wand is a clean fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast from the perspective of the enchantress. It's a standalone novel, but there are other books set in the same story world to enjoy! It was previously published as The Beast's Enchantress .

Falsely accused of being the notorious Magic Thief, the non-magic Marcel Ellsworth, Baron of Carrington, wants nothing more than to stay away from enchanters and sorcerers. Unfortunately, he soon discovers his mentor, the Duke of Henly, is head of a family of proud enchanters—and that they’re the next target of the Magic Thief, a servant of the sorcerers. With the threat of another accusation hanging over him, Marcel sets out to prove his innocence, especially to the duke’s beautiful daughter Gabriella, and to stop the Thief once and for all. But Gabriella is hiding a deadly secret that complicates Marcel’s mission, and raises its stakes. For one thing is certain: the Magic Thief has come for more than magical treasures—he’s come for Gabriella. A spunky heroine, an unlikely hero, a cunning thief, and a race against a terrifying curse—everything a reader could want in a fantasy adventure! Marcel and Gabriella are both easy to root for as they overcome obstacles and their own misconceptions, and their growing friendship against the odds is executed to perfection. E.J.
