Happiness isn't guaranteed after a Beauty breaks a Beast's curse Three sisters are trapped on the Brokenstar estate, producer of magical fruit and honey:

Desperate Hester, retaining her grip on stolen magic;

Murdered Julie, haunting the estate;

And prisoner Cora, the pawn fighting for control.

When Cora escapes, seeking the ingredients for a ritual to regain her magic, all three sisters will learn that the ties of magic -- like the ties of family - are not so easily broken.

A brutal fairy tale for fans of Angela Carter and Tanith Lee.
