Malevolent Fairy
The Tale of Ania, A Troubled Soul
He asked for their eyes so they could not witness his misogyny.
And then he blamed them for it, calling them troubled and gullible fools."
We Used to Live Here meets Lovely Bones in this tragic tale about a girl who is held against her will as she faces the greatest horror; a haunting by misogyny and all of its accomplices.
WHEN ANIA WAKES UP IN A CAMP FOR TROUBLED SOULS, she has no memory of how she got there, and yet the people who surround her seem familiar. As if that wasn’t strange enough, the camp has been set up in an abandoned and derelict place.
Faced with violence from the outset, Ania tries to return home to the safety of her family, but her every effort to escape is met by a new obstacle, not least her reluctance to engage in conflict after years spent in the shadows of a wrathful mother and battle-lustful brother. A familiar voice whispers in her ear, suggesting that others are using her people-pleasing ways to manipulate her, but Ania isn’t sure if this voice is trying to help or keep her reduced to the shape of their will.
When one of the other campers goes missing, Ania fears that she is being stalked by a malevolent spirit. The forest groans, threatening to unleash something that is certain to overwhelm her if she dares to open her eyes to it. And another thing troubles her. As horrors grow and her story unfolds, she begins to question if the dangers really are out there, or if she is trapped inside the labyrinth of her mind.
Malevolent Fairy, the prequel to Tangled Knot and the sequel to Rainbow Warrior, is available now.
