Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale

Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale

From the best selling author of the Spiderwick Chronicles comes a dark, gothic tale for older readers.

Debauchery, despair, deceit and grisly death- what more could you want from a fairy tale?

Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces the teenager back to her childhood home.

There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye is dragged into the thick of a dangerous, frightening world. A realm where black horses dwell beneath the sea, where the sinister Thistlewitch divines dark futures and where beautiful faerie knights are driven to perform acts of brutal depravity for the love of their uncaring queens.

Suddenly Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms- a struggle that could very well mean her death.

In a sinister and chilling fantasy about ancient rivalries, menacing villains and beautiful dark heroes, bestselling author Holly Black weaves and enchanted and enthralling tale for fantasy lovers of all ages.
