n nThis isnt a fairytale where the princess marries a prince. Its one where she kills him. n n*A very special hardcover edition, featuring gold foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.* n nFrom Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes an original and subversive new fantasy adventure. n nAfter 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. No one, except for Marra herself. n nSeeking help from a powerful gravewitch, Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince--if she can complete three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes, witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning. n nOn her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a demon. Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes around the throat of the prince and frees Marras family and their kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last. n nNettle & Bone is the kind of book that immediately feels like an old friend. Fairytale mythic resonance meets homey pragmatism in this utterly delightful story. Its creepy, funny, heartfelt, and full of fantastic characters I absolutely loved! --Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Magen
