Im Oktober erscheint in den USA “Beauty and the Werwolf“, der mittlerweile sechste (in sich abgeschlossene) Roman aus Mercedes Lackeys Tales of the Fivehundred Kingdoms-Reihe.

Inzwischen wurden Teaser & Titelbild zum Roman veröffentlicht, der eine Mischung aus Rotkäppchen und Die Schöne und das Biest zu sein scheint:

The eldest daughter is often doomed in fairy tales. But Bella— Isabella Beauchamps, daughter of a wealthy merchant—vows to escape the usual pitfalls.

Anxious to avoid the Traditional path, Bella dons a red cloak and ventures into the forbidden forest to consult with “Granny,” the local wise woman. But on the way home she’s attacked by a wolf—who turns out to be a cursed nobleman! Secluded in his castle, Bella is torn between her family and this strange man who creates marvelous inventions and makes her laugh—when he isn’t howling at the moon.

Breaking spells is never easy. But a determined beauty, a wizard (after all, he’s only an occasional werewolf) and a little godmotherly interference might just be able to bring about a happy ending…
