The reviled villainesses of Snow White, Cinderella, and Rapunzel team up to set the record straight in a subversively funny short story by the number one New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.

Envious queen? Evil stepmother? Kidnapping hag? Elsinora, Gwendolyn, and Marguerite are through with warts-and-all tabloids, ugly lies, and the three ungrateful brats who pitted them against each other and the world. But maybe there’s more to the stories than even the Wickeds know. Is it time to finally get revenge? After all, they’re due for a happily-enough-ever-after. Even if they have to write it themselves.

The Wickeds is part of Faraway, a collection of retold fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again.

Never really thought about what happened to the wicked queen/stepmother/etc after the princesses lived happily ever after! A clever concept, with a few unexpected twists!

Clever backstory!

This short story was definitely the flip side of three famous villains from fairy tales. I loved how the author slowly revealed their stories and the realities behind their situations. Really well written!

Great short story...twists were wonderful!

This is a very entertaining take on the Evil Stepmothers we all love to hate. A great listen while doing evening chores around the house.

This was a funny take on the evil villains. As an adult, seeing the misogyny woven in fairy tales is disconcerting. Glad there was a “happily-enough-ever-after.”
