Book Synopsis

Anaïs Fontaine aspires to an elegant life.--not traipsing around the country with two monster hunters on a quest to find seven people blessed by all seven gods. Alas, her lineage of witches and con artists--and her grotesque ability to raise the dead--are hardly the attributes of a lady.

Her two companions are Constantino, a hopeless romantic who is mortally wounded when their troupe is attacked by a murderous bog witch. Granted the ninth life of a demon cat, Constantino has must heal his fatal wounds before the god of death claims him forever. And there is Fitcher, who is convinced that collecting the god blessings will help him break a mysterious curse that transforms him into a giant ice bear.

The troupe sets their sights on a mask made of enchanted glass that is said to perform miracles during the Grim Masquerade, a festival where nobles and peasants alike can don any disguise they choose. But the Grim Masquerade conceals dark secrets and an even darker past. Finding the truth might cost them everything - including the love that was already right before their eyes.

Romantic, tense, and full of twists, this retelling of the Puss in Boots fairytale is Marissa Meyer's most enchanted story yet.
