Description
Brave, Resourceful, Deceitful, Double-Crossing... Charming.
Prince Jean-Marc Charming Arundel, known to friends and enemies alike as "Prince Charming," is handsome, well-mannered, brave, a peerless swordsman, a cunning tactician - and a liar, a con man and a fraud. For years he has been travelling from one kingdom to the next, rescuing endangered princesses and maidens, securing their troths and his place in their fathers' palaces, then looting their treasuries and having it away before dawn.
Until a chance meeting of three of his victims - raven-haired Marie Blanche de Neige, the sorceress Doctor Emilia Rapunzel and the long-slumbering Bella Lucia dei' Sogni - suggests a course of revenge...

Reviews / Votes
"A pacy fantasy romp - idiosyncratic, but an entertaining slice of fun." -- The Guardian on Bad Gods "The author has a flair for storytelling... you'll enjoy this if you appreciate the better end of female-friendly fantasy. -- SFX on Bad Gods "This book promised me fun and frolics of a fantasy nature, and I was not disappointed. The story is fast, fun and feisty." -- British Fantasy Society on Bad Gods "Delightful" -- Booklist "A delightfully twisted mash-up of fairy tales... Fans of Alix E. Harrow's Fractured Fables series or Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson's The Tales of Pell series will enjoy this story" -- Library Journal "A light-hearted romp through the world of fairy tale." -- The Fairy Tale Magazine "I can't emphasise how much fun this book is." -- Series Book Lover "Bursting with dry humour and vibrant characters." -- Luviolet Reads "This book was exactly what I wanted it to be - really good fun!" -- Mug Full of Books "If you like fairy tales, well-written characters given autonomy and fresh twists, Charming is perfect for you." -- I Just Kinda Like Books "The women are so easy to root for, especially in the face of a jerk like Charming." -- Righter of Words "There's a really tongue-in-cheek tone to it all, which I love." -- Sifa Elizabeth Reads "A fun, quick read." -- Sci-Fi Fan Letter "I love how Linwood has reimagined each of these protagonists." -- Kara ReviewsMore details
