About this ebook

Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman and Tim Burton, this is no ordinary fairy tale. When Poison's baby sister is stolen by phaeries, Poison sets off on an incredible and dangerous journey to get her sister back from the Phaerie Lord. But as Poison travels to the Realm of Phaerie, she discovers that her story - and her destiny - is not in her control, and that she will need all her wits about her to survive. A fantasy where the power of story maybe the only thing that will save you, and where imagination knows no bounds.

Ratings and reviews

I'm a fast young adult reader. I finished Harry Potter in 4th grade! One summer break when I was seriously bored I started reading Malice, another book by Chris Wooding. It was quite good (a horror hater liking a horror story isn't something that happens everyday). Later on, when I saw this book, I had to read it. I started with high expectations. What I got was a thrilling adventure that blew my mind! The story is crisp albeit a somewhat blurred beginning. The best book I've read.

I read this book when I was in the 7th grade, and I have always loved it. Anytime people ask me what my favorite books are, this one happens to be high on the list :)

I read this book many years ago and I still have that same awe of how great of a book it is. Just amazing. The ending is such a twist that I'm sitting here like why isn't there a sequel.
