The Curse-Breaker Series

Books 1-4: Scales, Glass, Tide, and Curse-Maker

THE FIRST FOUR BOOKS OF ALYDIA RACKHAM'S EPIC FAIRY-TALE RETELLINGS IN ONE VOLUME!

SCALES: A FRESH TELLING OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
The poisonous jealousy of a sister gives birth to curse of vengeance. The body of a princess is warped and twisted into the form of a scaly, snake-like monster, and her mind is lost in shadow. A misfit minstrel, with a voice like sunshine, may be her only hope for salvation--but only if he survives their first encounter. A thrilling and unexpected reversal of the timeless romance of "Beauty and the Beast"--and the tale that launches Alydia Rackham's epic fairy tale series.

GLASS: RETELLING THE SNOW QUEEN
Rose has lived in a mountain fortress with curse-breakers almost all her life, never venturing out in to the wilds. But now, her masters have sent her on a mission to free a lost kingdom that crafts unbreakable glass. But this task may prove impossible, for the prince has a heart of stone, and the kingdom is frozen under the hand of the Snow Queen.

TIDE: RETELLING THE LITTLE MERMAID
A fathomless tale of a girl who dreams of another world--but if the prince refuses to marry her, she will die, and the great seal she protects will fall into the hands of the Sea Witch. For the sake of the entire realm, young Galahad Stormcrane, a great Curse-Breaker, must somehow convince a royal prince to fall in love with a mermaid who cannot speak.

CURSE-MAKER: THE TALE OF GWIDDON CROW
Gwiddon Crow is a young, vicious Curse-Maker who haunts the Winterly Wood of Albain, free from all laws, unchained from the suffering of her past. Her master, Gwiddon Baba Yaga, calls upon Crow to cast a curse upon the tiny kingdom of Astrum, and destroy the great seal which protects it from Baba Yaga's ally, Mordred the Draid. But the curse goes terribly wrong. Now, Crow is trapped in Astrum, alone with its resentful, blind prince--and the unbroken Seal is slowly draining her life. She must find a way to free herself from her own spell... But the only way to do that may lie with the prince whose kingdom she has destroyed.
