Stasia Black’s Beauty and the Rose trilogy takes the familiar Beauty and the Beast story and rebuilds it as a dark romance. All three books were published in 2020, starting with Beauty’s Beast and concluding with Beauty & the Rose, making the series a quick binge read for fans of the subgenre.
The trilogy follows the classic fairy tale structure of a woman trapped with a dangerous man, but Black adds her signature intensity to the power dynamics and emotional stakes. Readers who enjoy dark fairy tale retellings will find this series covers that territory with the explicit content and moral ambiguity that Black’s readers expect.
