Beauty Stone

by Joseph Comyns Carr

In the medieval village of Mirlemont, a mysterious stone with the power to enhance beauty is discovered. As the villagers succumb to the temptation of using the stone, they soon learn of its dark consequences. Inspired by the Faust legend, "Beauty Stone" explores the themes of vanity, temptation, and the price of forbidden knowledge.
