Rose Daughter

After enchanting readers with the power of her novel Beauty, Robin McKinley returns to the story of Beauty and the Beast with Rose Daughter, a compelling, richly imagined, and haunting exploration of the transformative power of love

The New York Times bestselling author of Sunshine presents a “beautiful retelling of Beauty and the Beast”

Once upon a time an enchanting young woman named Beauty nurtured a rose garden in barren soil. Her gift for cultivating such rare flowers was truly magical and her roses adorned homes throughout the village, bringing joy and love to all who chanced upon their exotic scent.

But one summer, Beauty’s roses did not blossom. Without their presence her family and neighbors became ill-tempered and nature itself lost the light and warmth of the season. Even more heartbreaking, the roses no longer protect Beauty from her nightmares of a monstrous Beast—a Beast it is her destiny to meet and whose heart and soul she must nurture with love…

“Dazzling…has the power to exhilarate.”—Publishers Weekly

“Luxuriant…the story is full of silvery images.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Every sentence and every occurrence seems infused by magic.”—Fantasy & Science Fiction
