A tour de force of fairy tale and imagination, The Sisters Grimm is a magical tale of life, death and sisterhood that brings to mind Beautiful Creatures, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and Stardust.

Absorbing and beautiful - a great achievement. - BRIDGET COLLINS, bestselling author of The Binding

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of sisters Grimm on Earth. You may well be one of them, though you might never know it.

This is the story of four sisters Grimm - daughters born to different mothers on the same day, each born out of bright-white wishing and black-edged desire. They found each other at eight years-old, were separated at thirteen and now, at nearly eighteen, it is imperative that they find each other once again.

In thirty-three days they will meet their father in Everwhere. Only then will they discover who they truly are, and what they can truly do. Then they must fight to save their lives and the lives of the ones they love. Three will live, one will die.

You'll have to read on to find out who and why...


A darkly beguiling delight that's perfect for fans of rich and imaginative fantasy books akin to Erin Morgenstern and Neil Gaiman. - CULTUREFLY
