Ravenous

For fans of tales by the Brothers Grimm, this novel, inspired by the fairytale Hansel and Gretel, is a riveting and wholly original story of an epic quest and a heroine who will stop at nothing to save the one she loves most. A companion to the author's Monstrous , it will be enjoyed by fans of that book as well as readers who are new to this fully imagined and rich world. This paperback includes a bonus story, Precious , a prequel to both Monstrous and Ravenous . A witch has come to the city of Bryre. She travels in a hut that has chicken feet, and she's ravenous for children. When the witch captures Hans, Greta's little brother, Greta refuses to let her have him. The two strike up a bargain. Greta will retrieve something the witch desires in exchange for her brother's freedom. To get the prize Greta must travel to Belladoma--a city where she was once held captive. With the help of a new friend, Dalen, a magical half-boy and half-horse, Greta embarks on the journey and tries to overcome her foes, as well as her own weaknesses.
