No hay nada más peligroso que un cuento de hadas

 

Elige a tu jugador:

Una mestiza: mitad fae, mitad humana. La oveja negra de una familia noble.

Una furia: impulsiva; busca venganza tras ser exiliada del reino inmortal.

Un príncipe fae: determinado a merecer el trono.

Un guardia real: sombrío y con un terrible secreto.

Durante siglos, las ocho cortes feéricas han vivido entre nosotros, ocultas gracias a su magia y bajo el juramento de no lastimar a los humanos. Este acuerdo ha mantenido la paz por mucho tiempo, hasta que una serie de asesinatos conmociona a la ciudad de Toronto y amenaza con exponer la existencia de los faes al mundo entero.

La clave para descubrir al misterioso asesino la tienen cuatro adolescentes que deberán formar una alianza poco común y evitar así la destrucción de los mundos fae y humano, mientras una guerra entre reinos se avecina.

 

Uno de estos adolescentes está destinado a inclinar la balanza... ¿qué bando elegirá?, ¿el de los humanos o el de los faes?

 

Deséales suerte. La necesitarán... y nosotros a ellos.

 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

 

"Beautifully written and deliciously complex...I couldn't get enough." --Nicki Pau Preto, author of the Crown of Feathers series

 

The Cruel Prince meets City of Bones in this thrilling urban fantasy set in the magical underworld of Toronto that follows a queer cast of characters racing to stop a serial killer whose crimes could expose the hidden world of faeries to humans.

 

Choose your player:

 

The "ironborn" half-fae outcast of her royal fae family.

A tempestuous Fury, exiled to earth from the Immortal Realm and hellbent on revenge.

A dutiful fae prince, determined to earn his place on the throne.

The prince's brooding guardian, burdened with a terrible secret.

 

For centuries, the Eight Courts of Folk have lived among us, concealed by magic and bound by law to do no harm to humans. This arrangement has long kept peace in the Courts--until a series of gruesome and ritualistic murders rocks the city of Toronto and threatens to expose faeries to the human world.

 

Four queer teens, each who hold a key piece of the truth behind these murders, must form a tenuous alliance in their effort to track down the mysterious killer behind these crimes. If they fail, they risk the destruction of the faerie and human worlds alike. If that's not bad enough, there's a war brewing between the Mortal and Immortal Realms, and one of these teens is destined to tip the scales. The only question is: which way?

 

Wish them luck. They're going to need it.
