From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes a dark retelling of the Brothers Grimm's Goose Girl, rife with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic.

Perfect for fans of Naomi Novic, Alix E. Harrow and Nettle & Bone.

Cordelia knows her mother is unusual. Their house doesn't have any doors between rooms―there are no secrets in this house!―Cordelia isn't allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him.

But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't force their daughters to be silent and motionless―obedient―for hours or days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.
