Kingfisher</b></p> <p>After years of seeing her sisters suffer at the hands of an abusive prince, Marra ― the shy, conventraised, third-born daughter ― has finally realised that no one is coming to their rescue. No one, except for Marra herself.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p>
