Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale

by Holly Black
$8.90
Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale
Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale

Urban fantasy with gritty, rebellious faerie protagonist.

"Tithe" plunges you into a darkly enchanting world where faeries aren't just whimsical tales—they're gritty, dangerous, and intimately tied to our heroine Kaye's reality. If you're drawn to tales that juxtapose the mundane with the magical, where the clash of faerie courts brings a raw edge to the fantasy genre, then Kaye's journey of self-discovery amidst the industrial setting of New Jersey might just be the page-turner you're looking for. It's an urban fairy tale for those who like their magic with a bit of punk rock attitude.

Description

Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries! Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms - a struggle that could very well mean her death.
