Daughter of Neverwoode

Book excerpt: FROM EXCITING AUTHORS OF YOUNG ADULT FICTION BRITT COOPER AND ERIN DULIN Book three in the Chronicles of Fayble series Why be lost to illusion, when your purpose awaits at time's end? What would ordinarily be the end is only the beginning as the Chronicles of Fayble series continues with a fresh retelling of two classic fairytales. Peter Pan meets Snow White, blending the mysterious world of Neverland with the wanton deceptions of a queen who will do anything to hold on to her beauty and her tenuous grasp on her people. After an unusually long slumber, Petra awakens at the edge of the forest, outside of the enchanted walls of the shrouded kingdom, kept hidden through the use of fine golden dust known as 'sift'. But her fortunes collide with the enigmatic Captain Hook's, leading her on a quest for freedom with an unexpected ally in tow. The pair make for an unlikely duo as they hamper Queen Wendolyne's influence over the realm, destroying the fallacy of contentment and bringing the kingdom to its knees. Still, the queen refuses to go quietly into the night, sending a huntsman in pursuit of her father's greatest indiscretion, alongside the recovery of a valued family heirloom with which Petra refuses to part. A run-in with the seven lost miners in the midst of their travels leads Captain Hook and Petra toward an unsettling discovery that will forever change the ways of Neverwoode and their standing within the world of Fayble—faith, trust and pixie dust. Following the second star to the right takes them to the truth that exists only at time's end, where folklore and fantasy meet reality.
