Part of the Once Upon Another Time series
A false paradise hides a dangerous truth. Can Lena uncover it before it's too late?
In a world where curses are lifted and peace reigns, Lena senses something is amiss. Stripped of her giant heritage, she questions the reality of this 'Happily Ever After.' With her friend Jin mysteriously vanished, Lena must confront the deceptive magic that binds her city. As she battles to reclaim her true identity and save Jin, Lena discovers that a single spark might be the key to unraveling the fairy queens' enchantment. Will she find the courage to challenge the illusion and restore what was lost?
The third and final book in a new trilogy of twisted fairy tales from New York Times bestselling author James Riley, set in the world of his popular Half Upon a Time series, that’s perfect for fans of Fablehaven and Chris Colfer’s A Tale of Magic series! Who doesn’t love a good Happily Ever After? The Cursed City is now the Blessed City, with its residents’ curses removed. Lena is now fully human, as are the rest of the giants, and together they live in peace with all the other humans in the city, all their differences now gone. And sure, Jin might have disappeared, but really, genie magic only caused trouble. At least, that’s what the magic spell in Lena’s head is telling her. But somewhere inside, she knows that this new world isn’t right, that no real Happily Ever After would take her giant heritage from her…and that Jin is in danger. When things are at their darkest, can a single Spark light the way?
