It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. In the first book of the series, Anne Rice (author of \u003ci\u003eBeauty's Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e), writing as A.N. Roquelaure, retells the Beauty story and probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience. Readers of \u003ci\u003eFifty Shades of Grey\u003c\/i\u003e will indulge in Rice's deft storytelling and imaginative eroticism, a sure-to-be classic for years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Articulate, baroque, and fashionably pornographic.\" --\u003cb\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Something very special . . . at once so light and yet so haunting.\" --\u003cb\u003eThe Advocate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Rice\u003c\/b\u003e was born in New Orleans in 1941.
