“A luminous fairytale, sharp as teeth and full of heart.” —Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows

In this spellbinding sequel to Kathryn Purdie's bestselling dark fairytale, Clara and Axel must return to the forest—and its monsters—if they have any hope of finally breaking the curse on their village.

Emerging from the shadows of the Forest Grimm, Clara and Axel return to their village, the one place they can be safe behind the forest's border. But when the trees themselves begin luring villagers into the forest, it becomes clear that the darkness they battled was merely a whisper of the true horror lurking there.

Burdened by unsettling visions and bound by a love as perilous as the cursed woods that call to them, Clara and Axel must once again enter the forest to unearth the sinister secret at its heart. As they fight murderous woodsmen wielding riddles sharp as blades, spectral maidens who threaten to drag them into an eternal dance, and phantoms able to use the very essence of the forest against them, Clara and Axel realize the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t break the curse once and for all, they may not have a home to return to.
