Book overview
A spine-tingling young adult horror about the untold origins of Maleficent's dark magic--because evil is seldom what it seems, from New York Times bestselling author, Delilah S. Dawson.
Her story begins once upon a nightmare . . .
Maleficent believes she is destined for great things. In her hometown, only fairies who sprout wings at age sixteen can learn magic--and though her family looks down on her, she knows that once her wings appear, they will finally recognize her potential.
But when the unthinkable happens and Maleficent is denied her destiny, she joins up with four other teens bent on defying their fates to venture beyond the town's borders.
A mysterious force pulls at Maleficent, leading the group to an abandoned castle perched on a mountain. This strange place seems straight out of a dream, providing everything they need to survive and creating new rooms at will.
But something sinister is afoot, too: all exits are blocked, and shadows haunt the halls. As fear and paranoia tear the group apart, Maleficent is more determined than ever to be the mistress of her own destiny. In exchange for the magic she has long desired, she'll do anything.
Anything.
