This is an terribly scary tale... A girl is kept locked up, and the only food she is offered day after day is a poisoned apple. Another was locked in a room full of protruding needles, and if she pricked her finger, she would die. The brother and sister were put in a cage with gradually heating bars... An evil kidnapper was on the loose in Kate's world. But this does not affect her, until one day her grandmother disappears from a forest house. Kate is not welcome in the village, so there is no need to expect help from the villagers. Only Jack, another outcast, is ready to listen to her. Then the princess is kidnapped, and now the king himself gets down to business, although her stepmother is not very happy about it. Kate and Jack will have to look for the missing while the fairy tale still has a happy ending.
