New York Times bestselling author Jessica Day George reimagines the classic fairy-tale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, in this start to an enchanting YA fantasy series.

 

Rose is one of twelve princesses—sisters condemned to dance every night in the palace of the King Under Stone. Galen is a young soldier returning from war. Together they will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to attend the endless midnight balls. All they need is an invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with silver needles, and that most critical fairy tale ingredient—true love.
