Midnight Rose: A Fairy Tale Retelling of Beauty and the Beast
About this audiobook
What if Beauty was the Beast?
As caretaker of the aging Castle Onsoro, reclusive Rose Marikit lives alone, far from family and with few friends. But that's the way she prefers it, for experience has taught her that people are not to be trusted. And now that a supernatural creature, an aswang, is on the loose, staying close to home is the wisest course.
But when monster hunter Renji Lelantos arrives in the area to track down the aswang, Rose becomes his reluctant hostess. Despite her hard-won caution, she finds herself drawn to Renji. And yet, she is scared to get close.
For his mission to stop the creature could uncover a long-buried secret. One that, should it come to light, would mean the end of her idyllic existence, her new friendship with Renji ... and her life.
Weaving Filipino folklore with the story of Beauty and the Beast, Midnight Rose is a haunting new take on a classic fairy tale.
