Über diesen Titel

Welcome to the dark decadence of Dhonielle Clayton's sharp tale of beauty, obsession and magic....

I am a Belle. I control beauty.

In the opulent world of Orléans, the people are born grey and damned, and only a Belle's powers can make them beautiful.

Camellia Beauregard wants to be the favourite Belle - the one chosen by the queen to tend to the royal family.

But once Camellia and her Belle sisters arrive at court, it becomes clear that being the favourite is not everything she always dreamed it would be. Behind the gilded palace walls live dark secrets, and Camellia soon learns that her powers may be far greater - and far darker - than she ever imagined.

When the queen asks Camellia to break the rules she lives by to save the ailing princess, she faces an impossible decision: protect herself and the way of the Belles, or risk her own life and change the world forever.

Read by Rosie Jones.

The Various british accents don’t coincide with Louisiana, southern USA and creole accents that I believe were meant in the book, thereby also whitewashing the racial and ethnic diversity meant to be portrayed in the book. The voice performance was great, but to form more accurate pictures an American actress or one who is familiar with these dialects would make the authors vision come to life better.

Great voice actor wrong accent and setting
