Beauty and the Werewolf Makeup Inspiration to Try Out
As a hopeless romantic in search of a timeless love tale or classic literature with an epic love
story, Beauty and the Werewolf cuts deep. New York Times bestselling author, Mercedes
Lackey creates another magic in this continuation of the Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms
series.
Beauty and the Werewolf is an intriguing story told from a first-person perspective. We
see Isabella narrating her experiences giving the reader a real connection to the experience and
events as they occur. She sets the tone for every interaction in the entire novel.
The Duke has a curse of turning into a werewolf every month since the age of 19. He lived and
was active at court until he was eighteen, and later withdrew from society.
