Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries! Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.

From the author of the popular children's series The Spiderwick Chronicals comes a new adventure aimed at older readers. Tithe is the first of Holly Blacks Modern Faerie Tale series and starts off with a bang. The battle between Seelie and Unseelie enters modern New Jersey, when Kaye discovers long hidden truths about her past. When old friends ask Kaye for help, she opens up the mortal world to the influences of Faerie.
