Wren was eleven years old and dying when she climbed the black tower to beg for her life.
The Queen Witch made her an offer: go into the deep forest, cut out her sister's heart, and prove herself worthy of living.
But in the forest, Wren found something she had never known-kindness. A witch who healed instead of harmed. A woman who loved her.
When she refused to be a weapon in their war, the sisters destroyed her anyway. They took her heart. They filled her with darkness. They turned her into something with scales and fire and no memory of mercy.
But monsters are not endings.
Sometimes they are eggs.
THE GREY EGG is a dark fairy tale about the wars we inherit, the violence we refuse, and what grows in the ashes when the old world finally burns.
Some stories have to die before new ones can live.
