A dark and compelling fantasy about sisterhood, impossible tasks
and the price of power, from award-winning author T. Kingfisher.
After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive
prince, Marra-the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter-has
finally realized that no one is coming to their rescue. No one,
except for Marra herself. Seeking help from a powerful gravewitch,
Marra is offered the tools to kill a prince-if she can complete
three impossible tasks. But, as is the way in tales of princes,
witches, and daughters, the impossible is only the beginning. On
her quest, Marra is joined by the gravewitch, a reluctant fairy
godmother, a strapping former knight, and a chicken possessed by a
demon. Together, the five of them intend to be the hand that closes
around the throat of the prince and frees Marra's family and their
kingdom from its tyrannous ruler at last.

Nettle and Bone is an entertaining fantasy novel that has Ursula Vernon's (aka T. Kingfisher's) unique, quirky way of looking at things. This story includes such wonderfully evocative things as Bonedog (an adorable skeleton dog), a dustwife who talks to ghosts, fairy godmothers, a goblin market, a demon chicken, an almost-nun, and other strange creatures. It is always a joy to read Kingfishers stories and this one is no exception!
