This is a story about a girl and a book. It is a book of fairy tales, and a girl who is rather ordinary, until she finds herself quite literally sucked into the stories she had known all her life. But the world of Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty is a turbulent one at the best of times, and it has been thrown into further turmoil by Rikki Collin's unexpected presence. The paths of the stories have been disturbed, and with the Book being the only key as to how to set right what she has ruined, Rikki--with the help of two not-quite-knights-in-shining-armor--has to give every story its happy ending before an ancient evil awakens and can take advantage of the twisted path. Once upon a time, there were no happily ever afters.

One night, Adele was forced by a group of bullies to partake in summoning a demon, and all she was left with from that night were her memories and small black feathers. Several years pass mostly peacefully save the few bumps in the night, but after a sudden move to the middle of no where, the bumps in the night turn into full out nightmares. Then there are her issues at school with her creepy locker partner and the strange yet attractive art teacher that only adds to the confusion in Adele's life- as if knowing about a completely different world filled with monsters wasn't enough for one teenager.

Princess Gabriella Persephone Almondine Jane has been angry for as long as she can remember, but one day an icky green tag-along starts to rock her world. How will she respond when her world is slowly turned upside down?

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth. Her only link to the past is her best friend, Cillian, and even he has grown quiet as Moira's eighteenth birthday approaches. But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much. Moira can end the issue - she's supposed to marry a selkie prince once she's eighteen, forever tying her people with the seals. Moira has only just discovered the life hidden from her, and going to live with the seals would mean giving up the life she's always wanted to live. She doesn't want to give herself up to the sea. It will have to come for her.
