The Fairy's Tale

"What would happen if Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Emma Newman and K.E. Mills (in her Accidental Sorcerer mode) got together and had a fairy tale themed writathon? This, my friend, is probably what would happen."

Bea is a lowly cabbage fairy, but she dreams of being an official fairy godmother. Of course, no one thinks a cabbage fairy could run a story, least of all the other fairy godmothers. Until, one day, someone offers Bea a chance to prove herself. One heroine, one week, one marriage at the end of it. Easy, right?

Apparently not. Bea's heroine doesn't want to marry her hero and the ugly sister is bent on overthrowing the King. Worse still, the Royal Advisor seems to know a lot more about Bea and fairy godmothers than any human should...

Bea knows she should report all this to her boss. But that would mean admitting she's a failure, that everything everyone says about cabbage fairies is true. Besides, how hard can it be to get her story back on Plot? Everyone wants a Happy Ever After. Don't they...?

"I never thought I would say this but thank you F. D. Lee for the lack of sleep!"
"I read this in one day instead of all the other things I should have been doing."
"A cracking read! Subverted fairy tales are one of my favourite sub-genres, and this is a great example."

The Fairy's Tale is the first novel in the internationally bestselling series, The Pathways Tree from award-winning author F. D Lee. With surprising plot twists and compelling characters, The Fairy's Tale is a whirlwind adventure into the sinister world behind classic fairy tales.
