When it comes to

faeries, there are two types of tale. Some are filled with pretty, friendly flower fairy types. Others talk about dangerous, primal creatures of older legends; faeries who care little for human lives, except when we can amuse them. This is one of those stories.

Hazel and Ben are a brother and sister raised in Fairfold, a town sitting on the edge of the woods where tourists go missing. A faerie prince has slept in a glass coffin deep in the woods for decades, but he’s about to be rescued, with dire consequenc­es for the town...

Full of flawed and sympatheti­c characters from changeling­s to knights in training, this is a compelling tale of modern- day faeries, growing up and never growing old. Rhian Drinkwater
