A. Chakraborty, author of the bestselling Daevabad trilogy “Absolutely dazzling! Full of love, power, and betrayal, Malice is as compelling as a spell, as captivating as an enchantment, and as fascinating and delicious as a fairy-tale curse. I loved it!” —Sarah Beth Durst, award-winning author of the Queens of Renthia series “ Malice is the dark and wicked heart of a fairy tale carved into a book. This story is beautiful, vicious magic.” —Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand “A beautifully imaginative and feminist retelling of a fairy tale so often swept into the dark . . .

I’m sure I won’t be the only one!” —Richelle Mead, internationally bestselling author of Vampire Academy “Lively characters, a tempting sapphic romance, and a richly built world make this a book to savor.” —Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches
