Danger, deception, and intrigue abound in this sinister retelling of "The Goose Girl," the fifth book in the spooky and fantastical Horrific Fairy Tales Series.

Something ghoulish this way comes...

Gemma was always sure of her place in the Glen Kingdom Royal Guard, until a terrible injury damaged her sight, robbing her of her skills as a tracker and sharpshooter. Now Gemma is uncertain what she can offer the royal family. Her fears of her uselessness are confirmed when a foreign princess comes calling, and Gemma is relegated to the most boring of tasks: bodyguard duty.

But Gemma's new assignment is hardly routine. Solena, the visiting princess, is hiding something. Strange, foreboding incidents mark her arrival to the castle, including skeletal visages in the mirrors and shadows that move on their own. The real problem, though, is Gemma seems to be the only one who can see these eerie phenomena - and Gemma doesn't know if she can trust her own eyes.

When an intruder is discovered in the castle, stalking the king's apartments, Gemma knows she isn't seeing things. As Gemma tries to rebuild her faith in herself and begins to investigate the mysterious princess, she discovers clues that hint at a deadly plot and a monstrous secret - that Princess Solena may not be entirely human...

Ghoul Girl is a gothic horror tale about facing the monsters that lurk in dark places and facing the monsters that lurk within us.
