Never Ever After is a magnificent Sunday Times bestseller!
IN THIS FAIRYTALE, THE MONSTER WEARS A CROWN.
Life has become too dangerous for fairy tales.
In the harsh kingdom of the Iron Mountains, Yining forges a bleak existence as a skilled thief. When she discovers an enchanted ring of immense worth, it is stolen by her step-aunt, and Yining must venture into the imperial palace to seize it back.
Amid the grandeur of the palace, Yining catches the eye of the ruthless and ambitious prince, but she is soon trapped in a tangle of power and betrayal – her only ally a cunning advisor from a rival court with secrets of his own.
To seek her freedom, she must embark on a perilous quest in a dazzling yet treacherous world where allies can be as deadly as enemies.
Never Ever After is a powerful and fierce reimagining of Cinderella, a breathtaking new fantasy romance influenced by Chinese fairytales from the acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess.

Reviews
Never Ever After glitters, as bright and alluring as starfire and as deadly as the kingdom's iron. I absolutely adored it and cannot wait for the sequel!
Rich and layered and deliciously transportive, just like all my favorite fantasy books
Tan has crafted a jewel of a fairy-tale retelling and each prism is lustrous with sinister wonder.
A lush and effervescent, masterfully crafted fantasy
Intricately woven with folklore and political intrigue, Never Ever After isn't your typical fairytale and that's very much a good thing!
