Bookroo's summary

At Ever After High, students must sign the Storybook of Legends to seal their fates. Raven Queen, destined to be evil like her mother, questions her path. If she refuses, it could unravel Apple White's happily ever after. Can Raven forge her own destiny, or will tradition bind her to a life she doesn't want? The stakes are high, and the future uncertain, as Raven contemplates rewriting her story and challenging the very fabric of their world. What happens when you defy a legacy?

From the publisher

Releasing for the first time in paperback is Shannon Hale’s The Storybook of Legends. This book started the hugely popular EAH franchise! At Ever After High, the children of fairytale legends prepare to fulfill their destinies as the next Snow Whites, Princes, and Evil Queens. Each year on Legacy Day, students sign the Storybook of Legends to seal their scripted fates. For generations, the Village of Book End has whispered that refusing to sign means The End—both for a story and for a life. As daughter of the Evil Queen, Raven Queen’s destiny is to follow in her mother’s footsteps, but evil is not Raven’s style. She wonders what if she rewrote her own story? Apple White, daughter of Snow White, has a happy ever after planned for herself as long as Raven feeds her a poison apple in their future.
