You think you know these stories, don’t you?
You are wrong.
You don’t know them at all.

A prince has a surprising awakening . . .
A beauty fights like a beast . . .
A boy refuses to become prey . . .
A path to happiness is lost . . . then found again.

‘Sly, subversive and full of teeth - Chainani's reimagining of classic fairytales is an unsettling homage that transports its readers through tales both horrifying and humorous, sweet and scary, and, of course…beastly and beautiful,’ – Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves.
'These stories cut straight to the heart and will leave you begging to stay in their shadows just a few pages longer. Prepare to rethink all those happily ever afters... and love every minute of it,’ – Alexandra Bracken, author of Lore and the Darkest Minds series.
