Maleficent was a different sort of faerie. For one thing, she was raised by all the Fair Folk after her parents were killed. For another, she believed there had to be some good in everyone, even humans. Happy and spirited, Maleficent was beloved by all who knew her. That is, until she experienced the ultimate betrayal by a trusted friend.

Enraged and embarking on a quest for vengeance, Maleficent must forge her own path in the world to make sense of it all. And while she learns to harness her great powers, the forces against her only grow stronger. The question is, who really is the evil one in this fairy tale?

Elizabeth Rudnick has written dozens of books, including the original novel Tweet Heart as well as best-selling tie-ins to Disney films such as Cinderella, Maleficent and Beauty and the Beast. In addition to freelance writing and editing, Elizabeth is a literary agent-at-large, works in a middle school on Cape Cod and is the proud mother of a book loving toddler.
