Twisted Fairy Tale Book Novels & Stories

“I want your resignation letter on my desk within the hour. And if you try to spread any rumors or sell any stories about our… encounter… I will bury you. Do you understand?” Emilia felt the hope she had built crumbling around her. Not again. She couldn't lose everything again. But this time, something was different. This time, she wasn't the naive girl who trusted everyone. This time, she wasn't going to run away crying. She straightened her spine and looked Sebastian's Cross directly in the eye. “No.” Sebastian blinked. “Excuse me?”

Pain exploded from my scalp as a brutal force yanked me backward by my hair. A scream tore from my throat as I writhed in agony. Bright flames, ravenous eyes—these men were more terrifying than will-o'-the-wisps haunting a graveyard. "Don't waste my time! Kill her already!" Their savage laughter reverberated through the poisonous woods. The leader released his grip on my hair. The blade's gleaming edge caught the light, reflecting the misery etched across my filthy face. A flash of steel, a piercing pain in my chest—I couldn't bear it. I was going to die. The promises I made would remain unfulfilled.

he said, lifting it by one corner and showing the cover to me, “is filled with the stories of our people. Every werewolf family has a copy, and all werewolf children grow up hearing the tales.” “So… they’re fairy tales like Cinderella? Or myths like Pandora’s Box?” I asked, taking the book and examining it. It was an old book with a dark green cover, embossed with gold scrolling around the edges and on the binding, with the title “The Goddess’s Tales” right in the center. Despite its age, it was still in wonderful condition, with hardly any deterioration.

“The one about the lonely princess and the dragon who took her away.” “That one’s sad, honey. Let’s read something happier.” I reached for the book on my nightstand, a massive, leather-bound volume of classic fairy tales that I kept handy for nights like this. I opened it to a random page, settling on a story about a mischievous tooth fairy. My voice was soft and dramatic as I began to read. “...and the fairy, with a flick of her tiny tooth-shaped wand, transformed the hunter’s prize-winning hound into a perfect little frog...”

My grandfather saw my efforts and quietly arranged resources behind the scenes. I had traded his concern, and my irrecoverable injuries, for Sienna’s starlight. Now, she abandoned me. What a cosmic joke. The next day, Sebastian accompanied me back to the old house my mother had left behind. It was the place I grew up. The courtyard was once bloomed with roses she had planted herself. Now the gate was wide open, and the roses were withered to dust. Stray dogs wandered through the yard. Piles of trash festered in the corners, stinking to high heaven.

Fairy-Struck: Several types of conditions such as paralysis, wasting away, pining, and unnatural behavior resulting from an enchantment laid by an offended fairy. Once upon a time; isn't that how all fairy tales begin? Except this isn't your average fairy tale. There are no charming princes or wicked witches within these pages, and the fair maidens are more deadly than any big bad wolf. This is a fairy tale in the truest sense of the words; a story about fairies... the real story.

Waking up today wasn’t my intention. I had a long day ahead of me and of course, I’m always the one who has to work hard. I wasn’t an adopted child, I wasn’t a stepdaughter, but I had an annoying twin sister. Veronica Summers, my identical twin was the opposite of me. She was pampered more by my mum and dad and always caused trouble - of course, I’m always the one to be blamed.

It stayed sealed, calm, almost amused. “What do you want from me,” I growled, pressing harder. Still nothing. I stepped back slowly, staring at it, dread creeping into my chest. I need to find a way to open this book, it may have the answers I seek. Think, Sammy. Who could help with this. The answer came instantly and it made my jaw tighten. A fairy. They knew how to unlock things that refused brute force and power. They understood magic that answered to intent instead of dominance. Jane.

I was welcomed by a gushing wind of extraordinary aura from the centre of the room where Dorothy sat legs-crossed — wings outstretched behind her — and her eyes shut. Still baffled by the sight, I slipped in. The aura kept on spinning around her, making her seemingly barricaded from the rest of the world. I quickly cast my eyes around her room and filled them with warmness. Looking back at her, my eyes then caught sight of a big book with the word, “Butterflies”, and a smaller book that said, “Fairies”. Something inside me wanted me to rush right down to it and grab it, still, all I could do was keep watching from where I stood.

"It was meant as one." Catherine was thriving. Meeting developmental milestones, making friends at the part-time preschool they'd enrolled her in, displaying the kind of confidence that came from being thoroughly loved. Lucy's memoir was finally complete. She'd titled it "Twist of Fate: Surviving the Unthinkable." Several publishers had expressed serious interest. Her agent was confident they'd have offers within weeks. "Are you sure you want this published?" William asked as Lucy prepared to send the final manuscript to her agent. "It's very personal.
