The Beauty in the Beast by K.G. McAbee
When Erik’s father acquires yet another gambling debt, a most unusual payment is demanded.
Erik must go to live in the castle in the wood and never see his father again.
Even the thought of numberless books doesn’t make him happier about the deal.
But when he arrives at Arraine DuBois’ castle deep in the enchanted woods, Erik finds even more than he’d bargained for—magic, wonder, love, danger, fear…and death.
