A thrilling sequel to best-selling Knife, this is a fairytale with a difference. Linden has to learn to be brave like her foster mother Knife in a fairy world which is full of danger and treachery. The Fairy Queen is dying. Everyone is anxious about what will happen after her time is over. Linden knows that she must be brave but has she the strength and courage it will take?

About R J Anderson
Rebecca Anderson was born in Uganda, raised in Ontario, went to school in New Jersey, and has spent much of her life dreaming of other worlds entirely.
As a child she immersed herself in fairy tales, mythology, and the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit; later she discovered more contemporary authors like Ursula LeGuin, Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley, and learned to take as much pleasure from their language as the stories they told.
Now married and the mother of three young sons, Rebecca reads to her children the classic works of fantasy and science fiction that enlivened her own childhood, and tries to bring a similar sense of humor, adventure, and timeless wonder to the novels she writes for children and young adults.
