Hazel’s new life in England should have been the stuff of fairy tales; after all her Great Aunt’s cottage looked just like a gingerbread house, with a magical garden and whispering fireflies promising quests and adventures.

also learns that every fairy tale has a dark side. And there are terrifying creatures that lurk in the shadows . . .
