Publisher's Description

▼▲

Forget everything you think you know about faeries . . .
Creatures full of magic and whimsy? Not in the Oakenwyld. Not anymore.

Long ago the faeries of the great Oak mysteriously lost their magic. Robbed of their powers, they have become selfish and dull-witted. Now their numbers are dwindling and their very survival is at stake.

Only one young faery—Knife—is determined to find out where her people's magic has gone and try to get it back. Unlike her sisters, Knife is fierce and independent. She's not afraid of anything—not the vicious crows, the strict Faery Queen, or the fascinating humans living nearby. But when Knife disobeys the Faery Queen and befriends a human named Paul, her quest becomes more dangerous than she realizes.

Knife is a gripping tale of lost magic, high adventure, and surprising friendship in which the fate of an entire realm rests on the shoulders of one brave faery rebel.

Author Bio

▼▲

R. J. (Rebecca) Anderson isn't trying to pretend she's not female, she just thinks her initials look writerly. The daughter of a Bible teacher who read Tolkien and Lewis aloud to his children, she grew up daydreaming about Narnia and Middle-Earth, watching Doctor Who from behind the sofa, and hanging out in her brothers' comic book shop. Now she writes novels about knife-wielding faeries, weird science, and the numinous in the modern world.

Her debut novel Knife was longlisted for the Carnegie Award in 2009 and became a UK bestseller; it and its sequels Rebel and Arrow are now being re-released in US paperback and e-book by Enclave Publishing. Her teen thriller Ultraviolet was shortlisted for the 2012 Andre Norton (Nebula) award and the Sunburst Award for Canadian SF, and was followed by a companion novel, Quicksilver (2013). Her newest book is a magical mystery-adventure called A Pocket Full of Murder (Atheneum, September 2015).
