This book is such a little gem!
A dark and twisty fairytale filled with dry humor and a sprinkle of romance that scratched an itch I didn't know I had.
A third-born princess sets out on an impossible quest to kill the evil prince and save her sister. Along the way she gathers a dog of bone, an old woman who can speak with the dead, a knight entrapped by the fair folk, and a peculiar fairy godmother. Together, they set off on this "fool's errand in which they will probably die."
