While their country prepares for war, they prepare for the battle of their lives. The Gods have given their warning. A deadly threat will be born at the end of the ninth age and will find a divided world easy to consume. All will be destroyed in a storm of ice and fire, unless Three can be found to stand against the threat, and to bring all magical and mortal peoples together. A huntress and two runaways have been drawn together for an impossible Quest. Their world is threatened by disunity, by the growing sickness of Mother Nature, and by the ambitions of a Sorcerer who is hunting down one magical race after another.
Book one in the ‘A Fairy Tale’ trilogy…

A magical and wonderful first book in this series and an exciting adventure for all ages to savour and be enchanted…a great new voice in the genre and a very talented author…looking forward to book two in this trilogy… Amanda, Indiebooks reviewer.

Shelley Cass started as the embarrassed kid who needed more help than everyone else to learn to read. She still remembers the moment - the complete internal shift and awe-struck surprise - when she realised, she could make sense of it all and that entire new worlds had opened before her. As an awkward, gangly junior student, Shelley began to write her own worlds. While growing up, she always came back to her own story, where she confronted the frightening things that threaten the real world and explored the things that save it.
