Hansel never asked to be a hero. He never
wanted to fall in love with Rapunzel, Queen of the East. He didn’t ask to be
raised by Gothel the Wretch, and he certainly never wanted to be credited for
her arrest. But more than any of that, Hansel never wanted to lie: but he did.
He lied about everything. He thought that he was done with it all when he and his
sister Gretel retreated into the woods to reclaim their land, but he should
have known better.
Years later, Rapunzel’s guards knock at his
door, and they say the words he hoped that he would never hear: Gothel has
escaped. As he and Gretel take refuge inside Rapunzel’s castle in the eastern
capitol of Hildebrand, Hansel is thrust back into everything he never wanted in
the first place: his lies, his legend, and his lust. In the wake of it all, he
knows that Gothel has escaped to finish what she started. She is out to make
sure that the Sleeping Beauty never wakes, and that Grimm suffocates under her
blanket of thorn and vine. In order to find Gothel and save the kingdom, Hansel
and Gretel must look for fact in a land of fairy-tale by following a trail of grisly
murders, a girl in a red cape, and a powerful little man who can’t stand the
sound of his own name.
As they search for answers, Hansel finds that
he isn’t the only liar in Grimm, and that there may be a traitor among them of
royal proportion.
