From the amazing imagination of bestselling author Holly Black, a mysterious and wonderful teen graphic novel masterpiece.
The life of Rue Silver is not at all what it seems to be. Rue Silver’s mother has disappeared . . . and her father has been arrested, suspected of killing her. But it’s not as straightforward as that.
Rue digs deep into her family’s past and makes a surprising discovery: her mother is a fairy who has returned to the realm of fantastic beings for breaking a promise. Because Rue is a faerie, like her mother was. And her father didn’t kill her mother — instead, he broke a promise to Rue’s faerie king grandfather, which caused Rue’s mother to be flung back to the faerie world.
Now Rue must go to save her — and must also defeat a dark faerie that threatens our very mortal world.
