Summary

The first thing Havayah ever saw was gray.
 
Not the gray of clouds, or ash, or dusk, but the kind that eats at the edges of everything. Born silent in a Dominion where colors sing, burn, heal, and kill, the world called her a void. Her village called her cursed. And Havayah? She called herself no-one, a hollow.
 
But a hollow is a dangerous thing to underestimate.
 
When the Ma’or Council brands her a threat for lacking Chromatic attunement—the sacred bond to color that defines life — an empathic investigator named Nefesh makes a choice: to protect her instead of condemning her. Together, they uncover the Council's devastating plan — to use the shattered Prismatic Nexus, remnants of the world’s raw luminance, to achieve absolute control over the color spectrums, while casting out those they deem "colorless." The rebels fighting against them promise liberation, but their revolution holds its own darkness.
 
What no one realizes is that the girl they dismissed—the one born without a single thread of color—has no intention of playing savior. Through underwater cities, and skies stained with power, Havayah will forge her own path. Because when the world gave her nothing, she learned to take everything.
 
This is not a story of saving the world—

    Andrew Lang (1844–1912) in collaboration with his wife Leonora Blanche Alleyne (1851-1933) published The Blue Fairy Book in 1889 and it was to become the first of a series of twenty five collections of fantastical tales from around the world, ending with “The Strange Story Book” published in 1923. 
    In this first collection we find many of the traditional favourites from the “Fairy Tale” world, including amongst others “Goldilocks”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, Tom Thumb" “Rumpelstiltskin” and “Jack the Giant Killer”. While many of these have some vestige of the narrative we may be accustomed to through many sanitised adaptations, there are many surprises! 
    The telling of these stories in the “Blue Fairy Book” are by no means the cosy bedtime stories we might expect. You will search in vain for the three friendly bears in “Goldilocks”, or the accommodating dwarves in” Snow-white”. There is no attempt to soften the edges or the expunge the blood thirsty fates that befall may of the unfortunate characters. 
    Head Stories Audio presents " The Blue Fairy Book", narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
