IN THIS FAIRYTALE, THE MONSTER WEARS A CROWN.

Life has become too dangerous for fairy tales.

In the harsh kingdom of the Iron Mountains, Yining forges a bleak existence as a skilled thief. When she discovers an enchanted ring of immense worth, it is stolen by her step-aunt, and Yining must venture into the imperial palace to seize it back.

Amid the grandeur of the palace, Yining catches the eye of the ruthless and ambitious prince, but she is soon trapped in a tangle of power and betrayal - her only ally a cunning advisor from a rival court with secrets of his own.

To seek her freedom, she must embark on a perilous quest in a dazzling yet treacherous world where allies can be as deadly as enemies.

Never Ever After is a powerful and fierce reimagining of Cinderella, a breathtaking new fantasy romance influenced by Chinese fairytales from the acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess.
