From slow adaptation and indoctrination to the sudden seizure of everythingthey hold dear, the story of Tess and the Greenwood family rings truethroughout history for its chilling qualities, right from the novel's take-off.Considering this is a tale which contains fairy people, trolls and magic, therealities of the dystopian world which play out are incredibly realistic andgenuinely frightening. For Tess, magic is the way forward, but there are alsomindsets to change and ideologies to destroy, and authors Carol Marrs Phippsand Tom Phipps handle them extremely well with their delicate prose and strongdialogue.
