Cale always told Tay that fairy tales were dark. But they always have happy endings, right? Taylor Preston is a normal sixteen-year-old whose biggest worries are his GCSE exams. He's right in the middle of them, but he has a summer of fun with his parents to look forward to after. Or not. Despite their promise to spend the summer focusing on their one and only son, Tay's parents, Local Authority specialist foster carers, take on one more special case. Willow's arrival throws more than Tay's summer into chaos. Suddenly, his best friend is possessed by a demon, his parents aren't his parents after all, and he's literally living a nightmare in a fairy tale world that as dark as anything Cale ever warned him about. All he has is Willow and a burning desire to save his friend before he succumbs to the demon and Willow kills him.
