Sinopse

The Fair Folk are back! In the second volume of the Modern Fairy Tales series, meet Valerie Russell, who leaves her ordinary life behind to venture out onto the streets of New York, where she meets a group of friends harboring strange—or rather, enchanted—secrets. Valerie is another chance to be captivated by the seductive Faerie Kingdom.

After suffering a profound—and terrible—disappointment involving her mother, boyfriend, and best friend, Valerie decides to flee to New York without looking back. There, she meets Lolli, Dave, and Luis, who live in the fetid subway tunnels, scavenging through trash cans for food and objects to sell.

It doesn't take long for Val to discover that Luis, who for some reason seems to detest her, goes out every night to deliver a substance nicknamed "Nevermore"—which Lolli and Dave discreetly steal for their own use. Val decides to try it too and realizes that the substance is literally magical, granting special powers to the humans who use it. Under its influence, she and her new friends can transform objects, make others obey their commands, and perform other enchantments.

Val seems to attract trouble, and she'll have to learn to deal with it instead of running away, even if that means solving crimes, revisiting traumas, and accepting the disinterest of the troll she fell in love with.

Modern Fairy Tales is the debut series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, bestselling author of The Spidewick Chronicles and The Folk of the Air . Brave is now available in a special hardcover edition.

“Beneath the dark undertones, readers will find well-developed characters, a gripping plot, and pure magic.” – School Library Journal
