Cursed Beauty (A Fairy Retelling #1) - Plot & Excerpts
Adelaide asked her stepmother, Celeste, when Cook finally scurried his plate away to the kitchen for safekeeping, as the rest of the house began making preparations for bed. “Do you think the rain washed the bridge out again? Is he still at the castle, maybe?”“I suppose he had better things to do than to eat dinner with his family,” her stepmother replied, not bothering to hide her sarcasm.“He’s never been so late before,” Adelaide said, but then realized she was speaking only to herself. Celeste had already left.Adelaide decided to read in her room until Father arrived, but it wasn’t long before the steady murmur of rain pounding against the roof drew her into sleep. When she awoke, a few hours later, her cheek was squashed against pages of her book. A heavy pounding sounded against the front doors of the manor. Adelaide yanked on her shawl as she left her room. She wasn’t the only one awake. Both Celeste, and Adelaide’s step sister, Thalia, were poking their heads out of their bedroom doors as Adelaide made her way down the stairs to the front hallway.
