description: Storybook characters collide in this first book in a new trilogy of twisted fairy tales from James Riley set in the world of his popular Half Upon a Time series!Five and a half feet might seem pretty tall for a twelve-year-old but its not when your parents are giants. Lena has kept the fact that shes a tiny giant secret using magic to grow when out in the giant village. But hiding who she is has always felt wrong even though she knows the other giants might not accept her. Fortunately Lena has friends down in the Cursed City who understand that looking different doesnt make her less of a giant. Someone who knows not to judge by appearances is Jin a young genie currently serving one thousand and thirty-eight years of genie training that requires him to fulfill the wish of whoever holds his magical ring. In Jins case its the power-hungry Golden King. At least the king only has two wishes left one of which is for Jin to go to the Cursed City and capture its protector the Last Knightone of Lenas closest friends. What Lena and Jin dont know is how close the Golden Kings plans are to coming together between his dark magic and his horrible Faceless knights. If Jin does find the Last Knight and bring him to the Golden King why that could doom the entire fairy-tale world. This sounds like itll end badly doesnt it?
