This volume has three separate stories:
Bufkin and Lily, great Oz liberators, tell some of their follow-up adventures as they become heroes for hire. Bufkin has been one of my favorites, ever since the Magic Mirror painted him as one of the most formidable of foes, because “he reads, he reads EVERYTHING.”
Bigby is off trying to track down his two missing cubs, while at home …
Snow is trapped by an old promise and a new adversary, a situation that no one but Snow can save herself from.
We also get a shattering death and a shocking return, though no one is dead forever in the Fable world.
