When you can spin yarn into gold, getting whisked to a fairytale world by an evil king is just Tuesday.
Brie's mysterious ability means trusting others is a bad idea. So she lets her guard down around no one: not her boyfriend and not her adoptive parents. She's had enough of their gambling and gaming problems.
But when an evil king comes knocking and chases Brie into a realm of magic called Fable, it changes everything. With only one elf, Stilt, by her side, Brie learns she's meant to take part in a famous fairytale--one that will end in her death or worse, a lifetime married to that evil, greedy king. Just more of the usual, right?
Stilt says he can help her escape, but in return, he might ask for something she can't give. Who is her elf companion, really? Trust or die. What's more terrifying?

Poison and Mirrors
Holly Hook
Mara's always had to have an attitude. There's no room to be a pushover when you're the bottom rung of the social ladder and you live in an orphanage. Her crush, Eric, probably doesn't realize she exists. Or he's too afraid of her black makeup and warped sense of humor.
But when she finally draws Eric's attention, strange stuff happens to Mara and they're right out of a fairy tale. A teacher's tie nearly chokes him to death and classmates turn into donkeys...and it seems all this dark magic is aimed at her. Worse, she's been having a nightmare about a very red and dangerous apple. Someone's trying to keep her away from Eric at all costs - someone jealous. Could her best friend, Sara, be trying to eliminate her?
Mara must get to the bottom of this fairy tale nightmare if she is to survive. And it might take more than an attitude to learn the truth.

Twisted Fairy Tale #6
Swans and Silence
Holly Hook
When Ignacia's mother died, she had to take the role of taking care of her six younger brothers. They're more annoying than ever, especially since her father, the king of the Swan Kingdom, sent them all to hide in a tiny cabin in the regular world. But even being cramped in close quarters is better than being found by their dangerous and magical stepmother, Annie, who is bent on eliminating the seven of them and securing the Swan Kingdom for herself. No matter what, it is Ignacia's job to protect them. But when the worst happens and her brothers are transformed into swans, Ignacia flees into the wilderness. Armed with only a magical ball of yarn, she must find her brothers and free them from their curse. There's a catch: she must weave her brothers shirts out of a special type of flower. She also can't speak a word, not even a swear word, until they are completed, no matter how long that takes. Ignacia's journey takes her back into her home world, Fable, landing her in a village where royals and others alike are plotting how best to stop the likes of Annie from taking over all the kingdoms. Darkness closes on the village and all the blame shifts to Ignacia. Unable to defend herself and with no one on her side but a young, but burdened king, Ignacia will have to chose between saving herself and saving her brothers.

Glass and Death
Holly Hook
Can the son of the darkest wizard in Fable save it?
Shorty's world is in trouble. The land of Fable is falling victim to a growing darkness, one being spread by an evil dark wizard named Alric who is bent on making every fairy tale fall. Worse, Shorty's grandmother hates him and even the knights around his castle fear his presence.
The fact that he's the son of Alric might have something to do with that.
No matter how far Shorty runs, he cannot escape from his origin and the dark magic pulsing through him. When a group of refugees arrives on his doorstep, one of them with a magic ball of yarn that can show you anywhere you want to go, Shorty realizes his time of hiding is over. And they're being pursued by Annie, Alric's evil sister.
Shorty must act. Finding and facing the dark wizard himself is the only thing that will free him - and Fable - from the darkness.
