Narrator Sarah Ovens shines while breathing life into this haunting narrative. Ovens's expressive voice and impeccable pacing create a vivid atmosphere as she guides listeners through Clara's perilous journey in the Forest Grimm." - AudioFile
A spellbinding YA fantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Purdie, where fairy tales come to life with dark, deadly twists.
"Tell me again, Grandmère, the story of how I die."
The Midnight Forest. The Fanged Creature. Two fortune-telling cards that spell an untimely death for 17-year-old Clara. Despite the ever-present warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on a dangerous journey into the deadly Forest Grimm to procure a magical bookâSortes Fortunae, the Book of Fortunesâwith the power to reverse the curse on her village and save her mother.
Years ago, when the villagers whispered their deepest desires to the book, its pages revealed how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book for an evil purposeâto kill another person. Afterward, the branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away, the well water in Grimmâs Hollow turned rancid, and the crops died from disease. The villagers tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its border, they never returned.
Now, left with no alternative, Clara and her close friend, Axelâwho is fated never to be with herâhave set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one else has been able to before. But the forestâalive with dark, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy talesâhas a mind of its own.
A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
