Not all fairies are kind.

Across continents and cultures, dark fae beings have lurked in shadowed forests, whispered through ancient myths, and haunted the edges of human imagination. Dark Fairies of the World: Volume 1 invites you into a richly illustrated journey through the darker side of global folklore-where beauty can be dangerous, and magic often comes with a cost.
