Isn't true love the most enchanting thing?
Rags to riches. Dreams come true. Evil is vanquished, true love conquers all, and everyone lives happily ever after.
At least, that's how the stories are supposed to go.
Look a little closer, and you'll find something sinister lurking beneath the surface. These beloved fairy tales aren't simply stories. Each one is carefully manufactured by the General Administration, the totalitarian fae government.
They decide who gets to be a hero, who must play the villain, and exactly who gets a happily-ever-after. Every wicked witch, enchanted forest, and deadly spinning wheel has been carefully planned. And anyone who tries to deviate from their narrative will find themselves in the dreaded Redaction Department.
But Bea, an overlooked cabbage fairy with ambitions of becoming a Godmother, has never been good at following rules. So when she accidentally-on-purpose sets off a chain of events that threatens to unravel the entire fairy-tale system, Bea and her friends soon find themselves caught up in a story that can't possibly have a happy ending...
The Pathways Tree series has been an Amazon no. 1 in the USA, UK, Australia, and Canada.
What if everything you've given your life for is a lie?
The Company asks three things of its agents:
• Do not stop taking the pills.
• Do not deviate from the brief.
• Do not trust anyone from the past.
Kong's spent his life following these rules. The Company raised him. Trained him. Gave him purpose: to keep humanity safe, the timeline must be protected. It's a thankless, soul-destroying task - after all, people will always choose greed, apathy, and convenience - but at least his job matters. Or so he tries to believe.
Then he meets Joe.
Beautiful, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, Joe claims the timeline Kong's spent his life protecting is a lie. That the future isn't fixed, and the people Kong hunts may be the only ones trying to set things right.
Now Kong is caught between the Company that raised him and a man they call a terrorist. A man who may be the first person to ever tell him the truth. And he needs to pick a side quickly, because time is finally running out...
