What is This Tale Is Forbidden about?

Nesta has grown up believing in the old fairy tales: true stories of powerful women who once ruled the world.

When her grandmother is abducted, Nesta travels to the city to find her, only to discover a society where girls are controlled and punished for breaking the rules. Hunted by the Authorities, Nesta must uncover the truth, rescue her grandmother and restore magic before the stories disappear forever.
