Dhonielle Clayton - The Belles - A szépség ára

Welcome to a world full of passion and magic, where beauty is power!
Camellia Beauregard Special Girl: Belle. In the luxurious world of Orléans, Belle girls are respected because they control beauty, and beauty is a value that everyone desires the most. In Orléans, people are born gray, ugly, cursed, and can only be made beautiful with the help of a Belle girl.
However, being Belle is not enough for Camellia. She longs to be the favored one chosen by the Queen of Orléans to live with them in the royal palace and take care of the beauty of the royal family and the highest-ranking persons of the court.
But once Camellia and her Belle sisters arrive at the court, it becomes apparent that grace isn't always what she imagined. The palace's gilded walls hide dark secrets, and she soon discovers that her powers are far greater—and more deadly—than she ever imagined.
When the queen asks her to use her ability to save the life of her ailing daughter, the princess, Camellia is forced to make an impossible decision: if she refuses the queen, she will protect herself and her Belle sisters, but if she obeys, she will change the whole world.
This magic is forbidden... and not by chance.
