The Forest Grimm

8,A luminous fairytale, sharp as teeth and full of heart. I devoured every word of this magical tale. --Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows.In the dark heart of the Forest Grimm, lurks the Wolf, an omen of demise for seventeen-year-old Clara. Ignoring her grandmother's ominous divinations, she is determined to brave the dangers of the forest in order to retrieve Sortes Fortunae, an enchanted book with the power to lift the curse plaguing her village and maybe even save her mother. Sortes Fortunae was once used by the villagers to obtain their deepest desires...until someone used it to kill. Its magic tainted, the creeping branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away and doomed the village to destruction. Every attempt to make amends with the forest proved disastrous, and whenever someone crossed its dark border, they were swallowed whole. Desperate to break the curse, Clara and Axel, her closest companion, brave the shadow-strewn forest. But the Forest Grimm--alive with sinister, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales--has a mind of its own, and each twist and turn will test not only their courage, but also the strength of their bond. A sumptuous tale of love and survival in this beguiling journey. --Publishers Weekly
