Synopsis

Faeries. Knights. Princes. True love. Think you know how the story goes? Think again ... From #1 New York Times and global bestselling author of The Cruel Prince series and The Spiderwick Chronicles comes a dark, dangerous and utterly beautiful faerie tale, guaranteed to steal your heart.

Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries' seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once.

In the forest of Fairfold, lies a glass casket. Inside the casket lies a sleeping faerie prince that none can rouse. He's the most fascinating thing Hazel and Ben have ever seen and they dream of waking him.

But what happens when dreams come true? In the darkest part of the forest, you must be careful what you wish for. . .

Set in the same universe as the bestselling Cruel Prince trilogy, The Darkest Part of the Forest is a lush and enchanting tale, about a girl who has to make a secret sacrifice to the faerie king and become the knight she once pretended to be.
