The Haas mansion stood for years. Once an establishment of great wealth and fame, now forgotten. A forest sprung up around it over the century it was abandoned, and none who come across it seem to remember it by the time they leave.
The mansion and its inhabitants are under a curse. A century long curse, brought upon by the wrath of a disguised enchantress, posing as an ugly old beggar, searching for charity from a wealthy young heir's birthday gala. The heir transformed into a horribly large beast, and the servants lost their humanly bodies to become living furniture.
Ezra Haas---the young, cursed heir---must learn true love by the end of the century he's been given---lest he become a beast forever.
There is little hope in his heart. He is hideous, bitter, and lonely. Who could learn to love a beast such as he?
