Summary

Faeries. Knights. Princes. True love. Think you know how the story goes? Think again... From the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles comes a dark, dangerous and utterly beautiful faerie tale, guaranteed to steal your heart.

Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries' seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once.

In the forest of Fairfold, lies a glass casket. Inside the casket lies a sleeping faerie prince that none can rouse. He's the most fascinating thing Hazel and Ben have ever seen and they dream of waking him.

But what happens when dreams come true? In the darkest part of the forest, you must be careful what you wish for...

Brilliant

An enjoyable and twisty yarn, with some nice flips from traditional fairytale tropes. A lot of fun, with some surprisingly moving moments.

Just perfect 👌🏻

I don’t know why I was so shocked at how good this book was. Yet another beautiful piece of writing from Holly. She truly is one of the best at writing extraordinary fairy tales that don’t merge into the sea of every other fantasy book nowadays. Perfect narrator for this book too. 5 star, chefs kiss 😘👌🏻.

Enjoyable story & great narration. Nice twist on the usual fairytale roles of prince, knight, changeling etc.
