But nothing with fairies is ever simple.
Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to upholdâ¦
"The way Thornhedge turns all the fairy tales inside out is a sharp-edged delight."
