Inspired by fairy tales from the likes of Brothers Grimm and Angela Carter, the Two Sisters have created a personal collection of dark faerie tales. Bored of selfless and cheerful fairies, these two sisters introduce evil faeries, corrupted heroes and vengeful innocents. Each dark tale takes you on an unexpected and twisted journey that'll make you wish for a happy ending. Some of the stories include familiar characters like Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf but you'll get the chance to meet many new characters like the thoughtful Oak Tree, the perfect princess Emelia and the rather bland and loveless Violet.

Discover the dark and seductive realm of faerie in the first book of New York Times bestseller Holly Black’s critically acclaimed Modern Faerie Tales series, where one girl must save herself from the sinister magic of the fey courts, and protect her heart in the process. Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother’s rock band until an ominous attack forces them back to Kaye’s childhood home. But Kaye’s life takes another turn when she stumbles upon an injured faerie knight in the woods. Kaye has always been able to see faeries where others could not, and she chooses to save the strange young man instead of leaving him to die. But this fateful choice will have more dire consequences than she could ever predict, as Kaye soon finds herself the unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms—a struggle that could very well mean her death.

Fairy tales have never been more irreverent or subversive as Hansel and Gretel learn to take charge of their destinies and become the clever architects of their own happily ever after.
