In the Beginning

"All the fairy tales. Every single one. They're true." When Ronan Hayes and her father drive into Seattle in their rusty blue pickup truck, they don't expect their lives as drifters to change much. But something's brewing in the rainy city, ancient secrets are arising, and children of a long-lost prophecy are being drawn to Ballard High School. Six teenagers discover they have powers they never even dreamed of - though they come at a heavy cost. They are Legend hunters, or Legends for short, and they have a responsibility to keep the Fairytales in place, whether it be by force or persuasion. But something more sinister comes their way; the mortal enemies of Legends - the Grimms, evil web-spinners of Fairytales, who raise mythical creatures from their dusty books and give them life. Diana, the queen of her kind, has been waiting for the six ancient children for centuries. Now, her time has come to raise an evil the world has never known before - unless six seventeen-year-olds with ratty clothes and broken homes can stop her.
