This isn\'t a fairytale where the princess marries a prince.
It\'s creepy, funny, heartfelt, and full of fantastic characters I absolutely loved! --Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage.
Fairytale mythic resonance meets homey pragmatism in this utterly delightful story.
Nettle & Bone is the kind of book that immediately feels like an old friend.
Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes around the throat of the prince and frees Marra\'s family and their kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last.
On her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon.
But, as is the way in tales of princes, witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning.
Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince--if she can complete three impossible tasks.
No one, except for Marra herself.
After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra--the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter--has finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue.
Kingfisher comes an original and subversive new fantasy adventure. *A very special hardcover edition, featuring gold foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.* From Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author T.
It\'s one where she kills him.
