Poison has always been a wilful, contrary girl, prone to being argumentative and stubborn. So when she discovers that her younger sister has been snatched by the phaeries, she decides to seek out the Phaerie Lord herself to get her back. 

But finding him is not easy, and he's a little preoccupied when she does. Poison has stepped into a murderous world of intrigue, where the Lords of the Realm, a sinister pantheon of demi-gods, conspire and plot to overthrow the Hierophant — the most powerful lord of all. For the Hierophant is writhing again, and his pen will decide all their fates...

With only her wits and her friends to aid her, Poison must survive the lethal attentions of the Phaerie Lord, rescue her sister and thwart a plot that could mean the end of her people. What awaits her is beyond anything she can imagine... 

Poison is a gripping and malevolent tale from master storytelling Chris Wooding. Enter a world where humans are the vermin; a gruesome, nightmarish land of malicious tricksters and evil disguised as beauty. This is no phaerie tale...
