Synopsis

Sabrina and Daphne Grimm follow the villainous Master into the Book of Everafter, a place where copies of fairy tales replay their stories over and over. Inside, the sisters must find the Master while avoiding the Editor, who makes sure each story keeps to its course, and the revisers who work for him. The Master has a plan to rewrite his own fate, and doing so could change the fate of the entire world. The girls are cut off from home and have to rely on what they know about fairy tales to survive in a world made of stories.
