What will become of Shade, Pendrake, and the people of Fable? Will Rowen and Will be able to find Malabron at the Tree of Story and break his wicked spell before it's too late?

Cody is a teenage boy who lives in Washington, D.C. His life is consumed by academics, so in other words, he's a nerd. His best friend is his mom. That is until she is kidnapped in the middle of the night by a notorious criminal called “The Taxidermist" who is known for stuffing his victims’ bodies and leaving them in random places all across the city. Years after the incident, Cody has a strange encounter with an even stranger man that he is convinced is the man who kidnapped his mother. Along with Antoine, his friend who owns a French market, Cody embarks on the journey of his life to save not only the whole town, but also his mother - if she is even alive.

Excerpt from J. Wilkes Booth: An Account of His Sojourn in Southern Maryland After the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, His Passage Across the Potomac, and His Death in VirginiaIn writing this little book, it is my intention to tell the reader of the part I performed in the great war between the States, and my connection with the flight of the criminal whose deed closed the bloodiest chapter in our country's history.No act ever committed has called forth such universal execration as the murder of that great and good man, Abraham Lincoln.To-day I speak of the murdered President as "great and good;" thirty years ago I regarded him only as the enemy of my country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
