They are born of a drop of milk on the water; of a burning live coal in a barrel of wet ash, a rose petal sunk in a heap of sand...There are three kinds of fairies-or so the stories claim-the last of which are the faerie godfolk. The wish-granters and half-human of the fairy world,  they are meant to atone the mischief of fairies among men...But do they? When young Baillie Albus learns the truth of her own strange gifts and becomes an apprentice destined to grant a human's wish, she discovers a complex existence... and darker truths...beneath the surface of a world that is both faerie and mankind.Following First Bite and Gingerbread House comes volume three of The Dark Woods Trilogy, as authors Briggs and Steinbrenner touch lighlty on the tale of Cinderella's most mysterious figure and the dark side of well-meaning magic.
