Hazel & Gretel (The Clockwork Fairytales Book 2)

<i> In this retelling of the classic German fairytale Hansel & Gretel, Keuser has melded magic, clockpunk, and romance to create a story that expands on the themes of the original version while adapting it into a romance between two emotionally powerful women.</i><br /><br />Hazel Velois has spent the last six years of her life under a fairy's amnesia spell. Now that she knows who she is and where she belongs, she has plans to escape. But there is one person she can't leave behind--the woman she's come to love.<br /><br />Gretel has slaved in silent indignation for her mother's business from the day she learned how to darn a sock, but when her mother suddenly remarries and plans to hand her off to the village's local mob boss, she can't remain obedient anymore. She won't marry anyone but Hazel.<br /><br />Together, they flee in the night. When a search party closes in, they risk everything and plunge into an enchanted wood, where the dangers only multiply. Neither knows if they'll survive the witch who's stolen a fairy's powers or a clockwork beast that could devour them whole.
