don't know them at all. Twelve tales, twelve dangerous tales of
mystery, magic, and rebellious hearts. Each twists like a spindle
to reveal truths full of warning and triumph, truths that free
hearts long kept tame, truths that explore life . . . and death. 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. New York Times bestselling author
Soman Chainani respins old stories into fresh fairy tales for a new
era and creates a world like no other. These stories know you. They
understand you. They reflect you. They are tales for our times. So
read on, if you dare.
