Perle of Wisdom

An enchanted book. An outbreak of monsters. Welcome to Once Upon Academy... where fairytales are real, and princesses find their happily ever afters.


As the daughter of Beauty and her beloved Beast, it’s no wonder Perle Durand can often be found with her nose stuck in a book. Unfortunately, nothing she has found in any text has helped her learn to control her magic and earn a coveted position as a student of Once Upon Academy.


But when a mysterious librarian gifts Perle a book of runes to help improve her craft, the kind-hearted bookworm is finally able to earn admittance to the school of her dreams. Unfortunately, things aren’t always as they seem. Shortly after arriving at Once Upon Academy, beastly creatures begin to appear, all of them attuned to Perle.


When blame for these occurrences falls on Perle, it’s up to her to unravel the mystery and clear her name. Thankfully, she won’t have to do it alone. With the adventurous son of a giant–slayer, and a brooding wolf shifter by her side, the trio will wield the powers they possess to free the school from a shadow of darkness closing in.
