Fairy tales tell us timeless stories rooted in myth and legend-stories of heroes and heroines who save the day, or cautionary tales that serve as dire warnings not to stray from the beaten path. Modern fairy tales reveal the mysterious in our own world, alive and shining, calling us to open our hearts and minds so that we can see it. Sink into this volume of stories, fraught with wild danger, love, and joy. Meet the characters of The Faery Chronicles on their own terms: The notorious serpent from the Garden of Eden, cursed into human form and immortal, whose magic can heal or kill.
