Synopsis
From the author of [*Six of Crows*](https://www.waterstones.com/book/six-of-crows/leigh-bardugo/9781780622286) comes a tantalising glimpse inside the Grishaverse, an accompanying volume to Leigh Bardugo's bestselling [Grisha series](https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-grisha-shadow-and-bone/leigh-bardugo/9781780622262)
Love speaks in flowers. Truth requires thorns.
Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price.
Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans, these tales will transport you to lands both familiar and strange - to a fully realized world of dangerous magic that millions have visited through the novels of the Grishaverse.
This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them lavishly illustrated with art that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves.

Beautiful illustrations
It is a great book but the cover foil has rubbed off a bit and the spine is white in places. Be careful with it and it will be ok though.
