Beheld by Alex Flinn

#1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn is back with magical twists on four fairy-tale favorites, each featuring a little help from Kendra, the witch from Beastly, as she searches through cities and centuries for her lost love.

Now available in paperback and featuring retellings of favorite fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rumpelstiltskin," "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," and "The Ugly Duckling," Kendra's adventures in Beheld are filled with fresh fairy-tale fun from beginning to end.

Since she first beheld James over three hundred years ago, Kendra has tangled with witch hunters and wolves, helped a miller's daughter spin straw into gold, cowered in London as German bombs fell, and lived through who knows how many shipwrecks.

But her powers have limits, and immortality can be lonely. Kendra isn't ready to stop searching for the warlock she met centuries ago.

With the help of her magic mirror, Kendra will travel the world to reconnect with her lost love--and, of course, she can't help but play a hand in a few more stories along the way.

Four centuries. Four fairy tales. One witch's epic search for a love that refuses to die.

• Witches of Salem: In 1692 Massachusetts, Kendra's love for the warlock James begins amid the paranoia of the witch hunts and a dangerous twist on "Little Red Riding Hood."
• Rumpelstiltskin Retelling: In 19th-century Bavaria, Kendra helps a desperate miller's daughter who must spin straw into gold to survive a greedy king.
• WWII London Romance: Amid the Blitz, Kendra encounters a scarred soldier and a troll princess in a poignant take on "East of the Sun and West of the Moon."
• Across the Centuries: Follow Kendra from colonial America to modern-day Miami as she unravels classic stories and searches for the one man who is her match.
