"Ella's spent her life dreaming about adventure, but it's hard to have adventures when you're stuck with a stepfamily who treat you like a servant. When she unexpectedly wakes up in a land far, far away, she's thrilled at the chance to embark on an epic quest. That is, until she finds herself trapped once more - this time in the castle of a dangerous beast. Belle, meanwhile, has plans. Her family's trading company is on the brink of ruin, and to save it, she's going to enter - and win - a royal competition in the prince's honor. But when she unexpectedly winds up in a cellar with a wicked stepfamily who have their own plans to keep her from the competition . . . things get complicated. Happily-ever-after couldn't feel farther away. Can Ella escape the beast's clutches? And can Belle get rid of this stepfamily in time for the competition?"-- Publisher's website.
