Guinevere’s late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin’s childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family.

Alice non ha mai avuto una casa. Da sempre, lei e la madre Ella sono perennemente in fuga, alla ricerca di qualcuno che le ospiti per sfuggire alla sfortuna nera che le perseguita. Sullo sfondo la figura affascinante della nonna, Althea Proserpine, che Alice non ha mai conosciuto e che Ella non vuole nemmeno nominare: misteriosa e seducente autrice di una raccolta di racconti neri fuori catalogo ma ricercatissimi dai collezionisti, vive da anni reclusa ad Hazel Wood, una villa celata in mezzo a un bosco ignoto, sfuggendo alla curiosità dei fan.

Alice è scappata dal mondo fiabesco di Hazel Wood, e ora lei e gli altri abitanti dell'Oltremondo sono sbarcati a New York, alla ricerca di una vita non magica. Ma condurre un'esistenza totalmente umana non è semplice per Alice. Come si dice, si può togliere Alice dall'Oltremondo, più difficilmente l'Oltremondo da Alice. Ci riuscirà?

La magia scorre profonda in questa famiglia. Ma ancora più profondi sono i suoi segreti. Segreti. Bugie. Scelte decisamente sbagliate. Stregoneria. Periferia. Adesso. L'estate di Ivy, diciassette anni, non è cominciata per niente come si era immaginata: prima l'incidente d'auto di ritorno dalla festa di fine anno; poi finisce in punizione per essersi comportata in maniera irresponsabile salendo in auto con un ragazzo ubriaco; e soprattutto l'apparizione di una strana ragazza in mezzo alla strada nel cuore della notte.

Había una vez una niña llamada Alice Triple, una princesa vengativa en un sombrío cuento de hadas. Ahora, es solo Alice, tratando de llevar una vida alejada de la magia en Nueva York. Sin embargo, algo acosa a los supervivientes de Interior... y ella sospecha que sus muertes podrían tener un objetivo muy turbio.

Ivy's summer kicks off with a series of disturbing events: unnatural offerings appear on her doorstep and she's haunted by fragmented memories from her childhood. Soon she grapples with a dark secret that she's always known—but never faced—that there is more to her mother Dana than meets the eye. Dana's story starts the summer she turns 16, when with the help of her best friend and an ambitious older girl, she embarks on a major fling with the supernatural. As the trio's aspirations darken, they find themselves speeding towards a violent breaking point.

Seventeen-year-old Ivy’s summer break kicks off with an accident, a punishment, and a mystery: a stranger whose appearance in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, heralds a string of increasingly unsettling events. As the days pass, Ivy grapples with eerie offerings, corroded memories, and a secret she’s always known—that there's more to her mother than meets the eye.

Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: Her mother is stolen away - by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother's stories are set. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: "Stay away from the Hazel Wood."
