This Tale Is Forbidden

Control the story, control the world... Nesta believes in the fairy tales - the true stories of powerful magical women who shaped and ruled the world decades ago. But the world has changed since then, and Nesta is forbidden from wandering too far from the isolated woodland cottage where she has lived her whole life with her grandmother. She isn't a young girl anymore, and she longs to see the City that lies beyond the forest. Then, when her grandmother is abducted, Nesta has no choice: she must journey to the City in hope of rescuing her. There, Nesta is horrified to see her grandmother's warnings were true: girls are forced to wear certain clothes and punished if they don't behave in certain ways. The City Authorities have rewritten history, replacing the fairytale heroines with weak girls who must rely on men. Worse still - everyone believes this is how the world has always been. Only Nesta knows the truth. But truth is a dangerous thing, and suddenly Nesta finds herself a target. Can she evade the Authorities long enough to rescue her grandmother and liberate everyone else, bringing magic back into the world?
