"A bold and beautifully written examination of a mother's love told through the eyes of Cinderella's 'wicked' stepmother." âKirkus Reviews (starred review) ⢠"Destined to be one of the biggest books of the year." âGlennon Doyle, #1 bestselling author of Untamed ⢠"Splendid." âPublishers Weekly (starred review) ⢠"Breathtakingly beautiful." âEmilia Hart, bestselling author of Weyward
Twice-widowed, Lady Etheldreda Verity Isolde Tremaine Bramley is solely responsible for her two children, a priggish stepdaughter, a razor-taloned peregrine falcon, and a crumbling manor. Fierce and determined, Ethel clings to the respectability her deceased husbandâs title affords her, hoping it will secure her daughtersâ future through marriage.
When a royal ball offers the chance to change everything, Ethel risks her pride in pursuit of an invitation for all three of her daughtersâonly to see her hopes fulfilled by the wrong one. As an engagement to the future king unfolds, Ethel discovers a sordid secret hidden in the depths of the royal family, forcing her to choose between the security she craves and the wellbeing of the stepdaughter who has rebuffed her at every turn.
As if Bridgerton met Circe, and exhilarating to its core, Lady Tremaine reimagines the myth of the evil stepmother at the heart of the worldâs most famous fairy tale. It is a battle cry for a motherâs love for her daughters, and a celebration of women everywhere who make their own fortunes.
