Embark on an enchanting fairytale-like quest beside Marra as she sets out to achieve one goal: kill a prince.
As a princess who has been living at a convent for years, she’s ill equipped to do the task alone. Knowing this, she sets off to enlist the help of a powerful caretaker of graveyards and spirits known as a dust-wife.. who also happens to have a hen possessed by a demon for a companion. With her own companion of a dog made of wire and bone, they’re an unusual pair that only gets more unusual as their path takes them to a goblin market, a fairy godmother, and a tomb with restless spirits inside.
T. Kingfisher builds a captivating world from the first page that only gets more interesting the more characters you meet. If you’ve enjoyed any of Kingfisher’s other work, you will love this and likely want to devour it all in one sitting if you can.
