Nix has no memory of his life before the witch Lucia took him captive ten years ago, not even his real name. He has learned in that time to fear her wrath, and to avoid her son, Bensiabel. But when Lucia sets him three impossible tasks for the chance to win his freedom, Nix will have to learn to trust Bensiabel's help, or spend eternity in her clutches.Whimsical and charming, this gender-bent YA retelling of Prunella is a sweet gem of a tale you won't want to miss.
