NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • This paperback collection includes the first three books in Serena Valentino’s Villains series.

Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen
Why exactly is the Evil Queen so nasty, particularly to Snow White? Perhaps it has something to do with the creepy-looking figure in the magic mirror who’s not just some random spooky visage.

The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince
A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle. Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp—like a beast’s! But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?

Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch
The third novel in Serena Valentino’s Villains series features the story of Disney’s The Little Mermaid from the perspective of the sea witch Ursula.
The tale of The Little Mermaid is a beloved one of losing―and then finding―one’s own voice. And yet this is only half the story. So what of Ariel’s nemesis, Ursula, the sea witch? What led to her becoming so twisted, scorned, and filled with hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account of what might have shaped the sea witch into a detestable and poor unfortunate soul.
