"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
A spellbinding YA fantasy from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Kathryn Purdie, where fairy tales come to life with
dark, deadly twists.
" Tell me again, Grandmère , the story of how I die. "
The
Midnight Forest. The Fanged Creature. Two fortune-telling cards that
spell an untimely death for 17-year-old Clara. Despite the ever-present
warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on a
dangerous journey into the deadly Forest Grimm to procure a magical
book― Sortes Fortunae , the Book of Fortunes―with the power to reverse
the curse on her village and save her mother.
Years ago, when the
villagers whispered their deepest desires to the book, its pages
revealed how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book
for an evil purpose―to kill another person. Afterward, the branches of
the Forest Grimm snatched the book away, the well water in Grimm’s
Hollow turned rancid, and the crops died from disease. The villagers
tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its
border, they never returned.
Now, left with no alternative,
Clara and her close friend, Axel―who is fated never to be with her―have
set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one
else has been able to before. But the forest―alive with dark, deadly
twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales―has a mind of its own.
