About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Jessica Day George re-imagines 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.

Ratings and reviews

BUYER BEWARE!! The book is a great book. However, the 1 star is because Google sells this title with DRM software, making it impossible to read the book that you have purchased on a Kindle (and presumably on a Nook as well, although I do not own one of those, so I did not try it.) It is absurd that Google will restrict the formats in which I can read a book that I have purchased from them.

The first in the series. It was a very fun fantastical world, detailed enough to follow but still give room for the reader to interpret. An easy light read. Having read the other 2, I can say that this book sets up the other 2 very nicely.

A fun retelling of an old fairytale! I couldn't stop reading! The author does a great job of building suspense and revealing just enough of the mystery as the story progresses. And a perfect surprise to the happy ending will leave you satisfied!
