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 read this book in high-school (16 yrs ago) and to this day I can remember the story line very vividly. Never in my life have I read a book that had a part in the story that actually scared me, made me jump. When I read it's like I'm watching a movie in my head. I am excited to read this again.

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 in middle school and it stuck with me for years, never in my life did I become so engulfed in a novel. This book got me hooked on reading
