A vision of Wonderland like none you've seen before, Heartless
tells the untold story of the girl who would become the notorious
Queen of Hearts. From New York Times bestselling author of The
Lunar Chronicles, Marissa Meyer. Long before she was the Queen of
Hearts, Catherine Pinkerton was just a girl who wanted to fall in
love. Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland,
and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests
lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop
with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is
unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen. Then
Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the
first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of
offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter
into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her
own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving
with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans . . .
Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the fairest of them all? Fans of
the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her
'glamour' to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with
Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story - a
story that has never been told . . . until now.

All magic comes at a price, but love was never part of the bargain
. . . The look he was giving her. Serilda had never been looked at
like that before . . . The intensity. The heat. The raw
astonishment. He was going to kiss her. Cursed by the god of lies,
a miller's daughter has developed a talent for storytelling - but
are all of her tales as false as they appear? When one of Serilda's
stories draws the attention of the devastating Erlking, she finds
herself swept away into a world of enchantment, where ghouls prowl
the earth, and ravens track her every move. The king locks Serilda
in a castle dungeon and orders her to spin straw into gold, or be
killed for lying. In despair, Serilda unwittingly summons a
mysterious young man to her aid. And he agrees to help her, for a
price. But love wasn't meant to be part of the bargain. A
compulsive read, and as bewitchingly good as you'd expect from a YA
bestselling author. You will stay up all night reading this.
'Gilded glitters as brightly as the stories and gold that Serilda
and Gild spin.' Kate Corr (The Corr Sisters), authors of The
Witch's Kiss trilogy and A Throne of Swans duology 'Forget spinning
straw into gold, Meyer can spin words into magic and worlds into
reality.' Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill a Kingdom, Into the
Crooked Place and City of Spells 'The queen of fairy-tale
retellings is back, this time with Rumpelstiltskin as her
inspiration, and the result is a gorgeously intricate tale that
will have readers locked in from the start [...] Meyer weaves an
enchanting tale filled with whimsically magical moments and some
serious suspense.' Booklist 'Meyer explores the power of fiction in
this inventive Rumpelstiltskin reimagining [...] Intricate
worldbuilding and star-crossed romance help temper the Erlking's
brutality [...] well-drawn characters will leave readers craving a
sequel.' Publishers Weekly

New York Times-bestselling author Marissa Meyer concludes her young adult retelling of Rumpelstiltskin in this breathtaking sequel!
Serilda and Gild cannot break the curses that tether their spirits to Adalheid's haunted castle. There they remain trapped for eternity. On the night of the Endless Moon, the Erlking means to capture one of the seven gods and so be reunited with his lover, Perchta, who has been banished to the underworld.
But it soon becomes clear that the Erlking's hunger for vengeance won't be satisfied with a single wish, and his true intentions have the power to alter the mortal realm forever.
Serilda and Gild have no choice but to thwart his plans, all the while solving the mystery of Gild's forgotten name, and freeing all the ghosts kept in servitude to the dark ones. As the evil forces gather, it seems only their love is strong enough to sustain them . . .
Chronic over achiever Prudence Daniels is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals. When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue centre for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals - not necessarily in that order. Her new found karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed... love and hate... and fate.
