Kaye is used to drifting Review: Excellent book - Excellent book and delivered in a very good condition. Review: An Excellent Dark Faerie Book! - I have developed a recent faerie addiction, reading everything I can find relating to it! Tithe is my new favorite; it's dark, full of faeries and other supernatural beings, and addicting. I loved the plot and the characters. Holly Black has become a new favorite and I will be devouring more of her work asap. Basically the story revolves around Kaye, who has always had faery friends but no one has ever believed her. After moving away (from her childhood home and the faeries), she begins to think maybe it was all a daydream. Then her and her mother return home, only for her to reconnect with all things faerie. It isn't long before she meets Roiben, the dark faery Knight of her dreams. But things are never what they seem; is he really good and able to be trusted? Or is he one more bad boy Kaye needs to avoid? Of course, that whole relationship is moot compared to the faerie court planning to make a sacrifical lamb out of Kaye. I couldn't put this book down, and you won't be able to either! The only thing that dragged, for me, was the constant smoking. I don't smoke, and while it does bother me (irl), it usually doesn't bother me in books/movies. Until now. It seemed like everyone was constantly smoking, and as this is a book directed at YA, it seemed too make smoking way cooler than it was, and that really struck me wrong for my concern of younger readers. Smoking should never be glorified. But that said, it probably won't bother most people the way it did me, and even bothered by it I still give this book (and series) a glowing 5 star review as it is excellent. Pick the whole series up today or you'll be beating yourself up when you finish Tithe and don't have the next two! ## Features - Author: Black, Holly - Language: english - Binding Type: paperback - Genre: General fiction (Children's - Number of pages: 272 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #107,022 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #198 in Books on Family Issues for Young Adults #739 in Romance for Young Adults #905 in Fiction About Social & Family Issues for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 185 Reviews | ## Images ![Simon & Schuster Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jY9vn9b4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by L***I on 10 April 2026* Excellent book and delivered in a very good condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Dark Faerie Book! *by J***B on 24 August 2009* I have developed a recent faerie addiction, reading everything I can find relating to it!

The first is that, being the first book by Holly Black that I have read, I was surprised at just how good it is. Secondly, I was completely amazed to see that it is actually supposed to be for children. I would not even consider allowing a child of any younger than 15 reading this book. This is not the traditional fariy tale at all - the main female character is not sweet and innocent; she is headstrong and rebellious. The faeries are not traditional either - although they may have the appearance of pretty winged things from children's books that we all know and love, these are often wicked, devious and amoral. Even the knight in shining armor is not quite what he seems. The story is about Kaye, a sixteen year old with a single mother who is a band. Most of her life has been spent following her mum around the country on tour, usually looking after her as she drinks too much and sees various men. An attack on her mother after one of her gigs forces both of them back to Kaye's grandmother's house - a place where Kaye spent a lot of time during her childhood, and where she made friends with the faerie folk (or her imaginary friends as every else called them). Kaye's already messed up world is turned even more on its head when she discovers that she is not a mortal but actually a changeling (she was swapped with a pixie at birth). As Kaye returns to her childhood home and learns exactly who she is, she finds herself entangled in the faerie world as never before, only this time the faeries and things she expereinces are like nothing from her childhood. That is all of the stroy I am going to give you - there are many twists and turns, and it is better that you discover them yourself. All I will say is that this book will definitely be like nothing you have read before. It is a mixture of horror, folklore, magic and romance. The ending will more than likely surprise you (definitely in a good way though). If, unlike me, you have children, I would recommend you looking over the book and deciding if you think it is appropriate for them before letting them read - but if you decide it isn't, I recommend you keep this book for yourself, you will certainly enjoy it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Simon & Schuster Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale - Simon & Schuster Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie - The Stolen Heir --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/517665926-simon-and-schuster-tithe-a-modern-faerie-tale](https://www.desertcart.co/products/517665926-simon-and-schuster-tithe-a-modern-faerie-tale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
