The Crippling (Gretel Book Five)

**A cruel young queen in search of what she believes is rightfully hers. A mysterious woman willing to sacrifice her own to gain the ultimate power.**

New evils, more terrifying than their predecessors, are rising and threatening the land.

Gretel and Hansel have returned from the Old World to prepare for their latest quest: to find the lost books of Orphism.

But one of those books, *The Book of the Crippling* , has already been unleashed, and its contents reveal a power unmatched in history.

It is up to Gretel and Hansel, as well as their mother, Anika, who has spent the last decade as a nomad at the opposite end of the earth, to stop the converging evils from capturing the book and controlling the world.

**The Crippling is the fifth book in the Gretel series.**
