Thief Liar Lady

Więcej o książce

"Happily Ever After" is a total scam, but this time the princess is the one controlling the grift—until her true love arrives and threatens to ruin everything. Intrigue, magic, and wit abound in this Cinderella fairytale reimagining, perfect for fans of Heather Walter and Naomi Novik. I’m not who you think I am. My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchanting lady who captured the prince’s heart didn’t happen through a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. On the night of the ball, I wasn’t meekly helping my “evil” stepmother and stepsisters; I had my own plans. My stepsisters and I were trained to be the cleverest in the room, adept at manipulation. We learned to seize everything men kept for themselves: power, wealth, and prestige. With a tragic past and some highly illegal spells, I aimed to become a princess, secure our fortunes, and ensure our happily ever after. But the story is more complex. With my magic fading, war on the horizon, and a handsome hostage prince—distracting me with his charm and flirtations—I risk losing control of the delicate balance I’ve created. The stakes are higher than just a crown; my future hangs in the balance.
