About this ebook

From NYT bestselling and Hugo and Nebula award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes a spellbinding middle grade fairytale about the lengths one princess will go to save her kingdom and her sister, for readers of ELLA ENCHANTED and IMPOSSIBLE CREATURES.

The duty of the twin daughters of the Royal House is clear—look lovely, marry, have children, and ensure the royal succession. Unfortunately, one of those daughters is not good at any of those things.

From the time she was old enough to talk, it was obvious that Tatter was not cut out for the same life as her sister. She is not pretty, not patient, not lovely, and things that other people seem to grasp intuitively leave her baffled. But she has a plan to escape her fate.

Once every three years, at Yuletide, monsters descend upon the castle in a cursed tradition known as the Trouble. With the aid of a goddess and a goat, and her enchanted spoon, Tatter will take the fight to them. After all she's a lousy princess, but she might just be an excellent hero.
