17yo Beauty has taken herself to the castle of the Beast to trade her life for her father's, leaving behind not only him, but two older sisters and older brother. Instead of taking her life, however, the castle welcomes her in, and she finds that the owner is much more complicated than he seems. Beauty will need to confront the darkness within herself before she might be ready to break not only his curse, but her own.
Reminds me a lot of Stacey Jay's Of Beauty and Beast in that they both add new depth to the classic story in beautiful ways. The characters default white.
