In a world where fairy tales are living, breathing things that steal children to fill their stories, 12-year-old Pip is the only one who ever escaped. Now, the tales want her back—not as a victim, but as the new villain in their oldest story. To survive, Pip must team up with: A one-eyed wolf who claims to be her brother A paper witch who trades in lost secrets And the Moon itself, currently trapped in a birdcage But the more Pip remembers about her own forgotten tale, the more she realizes: she wasn't the hero who escaped. She was the monster all along.
