DATE OF RELEASE: 29 JUL 2027
New York Times bestseller and award-winning author Tamsyn Muir returns with a subversive fairytale adventure that blends Nettle & Bone with Dungeon Crawler Carl. When Princess Floralinda has to rescue herself from the tower, that's when the real trouble starts . . .
THE TOWER BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER. TRUE LOVE MADE THEM WORSE.
The princess in the tower is a classic for a reason: witch kidnaps princess; witch puts princess in tower guarded by monsters; prince kills monsters, rescues princess; happily ever after, roll credits. Princess Floralinda's story goes a little differently. Her witch was an artiste, and she got carried away.
After a dozen or so princes died on the very first floor, the rest decided there were easier paths to wedded bliss. So Floralinda set out to rescue herself, armed only with a breadknife, a good upbringing, and a captive fairy named Cobweb.
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS DOWN
After forty flights of brutal monster-slaying, Floralinda emerges at the bottom of the tower bloodied, unbowed, and no longer a princess in anything but name.
Unfortunately, the trouble is only beginning for the one-time-princess and her fairy companion. Succession looms. The Fairy Courts call.
A princess would have no hope of surviving all that is to come . . . but maybe a monster could.
