The Dark Man is growing stronger, and the Fables are losing ground. The witches of the 13th floor are trying to do what they do best, and build a web of protection and barriers to keep them safe. However, within the ranks there is dissension, and Frau Totenkinder finds herself defending her position as leader, as well as trying to find an answer to the Fables' community's newest foe.

This was fantastic. It was a wonderful follow-up to the cross-over that failed to impress me overmuch. Lots of intrigue, but a lot of the personal lives of the fables as well. The power struggle was definitely an interesting twist in events lending an internal as well as external tension and struggle. I like the juxtaposition of the city fables and the farm fables, adding more to the picture. Another great story by Willingham.
