Mystery. Magic. Fairy tales that shouldn’t come true. Magic doesn’t grow on trees—except for hedge witches with an affinity for plant magic. Fairy tales are very real in fourteen-year-old Abigail MacQuillan’s world. Bad things happen to children who are lost in the enchanted forest—Fae snatch them up to eat them, witches tempt them into eating their gingerbread cottages to enslave them, and carnivorous plants lure them into their jaws. Which is why Abigail most certainly isn’t “lost.” She is on a mission. She must find her missing parents and older brother in the forest before harm befalls them—all while protecting her younger brother as she does so. Only if Abigail can figure out who in the forest is friend and foe, prove she is as resourceful as her enemies, and come to terms with her own magical gifts in time, will she be able to protect her family from danger. But will she be able to do so without succumbing to the temptations of dark magic in the process?

Mystery. Magic. Revenge. Not all fairy tales are meant to come true. Magic doesn’t grow on trees—except for hedge witches with an affinity for plant magic. After Abigail MacQuillan’s family has been murdered by Fae, she decides there’s only one thing to be done—she needs to become a powerful witch so that she can make her enemies pay. In order to learn to harness her powers, she apprentices with Baba Nata, the Witch of Nightmares. Nothing is free in the Faerie Realm, and there will be a price to study with Baba—which might cost Abigail her fingers and toes. Baba seems wise and all-knowing with her powers of divination. Even the Fae don’t want to cross this witch’s path. Yet there are some monsters even Baba fears. A mysterious Fae force is draining Witchkin children and lesser Fae alike. If Abigail doesn’t defeat this new foe, she might be next.

Mystery. Magic. Revenge. Not all fairy tales are meant to come true. Abigail will do anything to destroy her enemies, even if she loses her heart and soul in the process. Apprenticing for the Witch of Nightmares hasn’t been easy. If it wasn’t for her best friend, Lucifer, Abigail MacQuillan might not have survived lessons in forbidden magic and witchcraft. After three years, Abigail has finally gained the magical skills required to defeat her enemies. At last she can avenge the murder of her family and destroy the Fae who continue to capture children and eat them. In order to deceive her enemies, Abigail must get to know them and discover their weaknesses. She must trick them into believing she is like them. As Abigail does so, she finds herself empathizing with the monsters she’s vowed to hate. If she isn’t careful, her new friendship might stop her from fulfilling the mission she’s worked so long to accomplish. Yet if she follows through with this act of vengeance, it might destroy the good witch she’s become and set her on a path of destruction.
