As the Fables of the mundane world try desperately to shield themselves from the withering power of Mister Dark, Rose Red — the Farm's ostensible leader — is finally jolted out of her crippling depression and into action by a timely revelation from her storybook past. Her epiphany comes not a moment too soon — as more and more of New York City falls under Mister Dark's malign power, the chances of striking a decisive blow against him are getting smaller by the hour. Luckily, the survivors of Fabletown have the world's most powerful witch on their side — and she may well be the only entity more ruthless than the Dark Man himself.
