Description

In a world where old magic still threads through everyday life, a young woman is drawn into a dangerous inheritance of spells, secrets, and promises that refuse to stay buried. As she navigates shifting loyalties and the lingering consequences of fairy-tale bargains, she must decide what kind of power she will accept—and what kind she will refuse. Blending lyrical storytelling with sharp emotional insight, this novel reimagines classic folklore through themes of agency, identity, and the cost of “happily ever after.” With Robin McKinley’s signature warmth and clarity, the story unfolds as both a quest and a reckoning, inviting readers to see familiar legends from a startling new angle.
