What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast? As Old as Time is the third audiobook in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.

When Belle touches the Beast’s enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle’s mind—memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making.
After spending ten years producing video games, Liz Braswell began her career as a full-time writer with a retelling of Snow White called Snow, followed by Rx and the Nine Lives of Chloe King series. She is also the author of Stuffed,Stuffed 2: Into Darkness, and several Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, Unbirthday, What Once Was Mine, and Adventure Is Out There! The New York Times bestselling author lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, and four coffee trees—one of which has already produced a rather tolerable espresso.
