NOTES
"Never ever after is a powerful and fierce reimagining of Cinderella, the first in a breathtaking new fantasy romance series influenced by Chinese fairytales from the acclaimed author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess."--From front cover flap
Nineteen-year-old thief Yining ventures into the heart of the kingdom to recover an enchanted ring where she gains favor from a power-hungry prince and unravels the mystery of her magical past
"Life in the Iron Mountains is harsh and unforgiving. After the death of her beloved uncle, Yining has survived by becoming a skilled thief and an even better liar. When she acquires an enchanted ring that holds the key to a brighter future, it is stolen by her step-aunt, and Yining must venture into the imperial heart of the kingdom to seize it back. Amid the grandeur of the palace, Yining catches the eye of the ruthless and ambitious prince, who tempts her with a world she's never imagined. But nothing is as it seems, for she's soon trapped in a tangle of power, treachery, and greed -- her only ally the cunning advisor from a rival court who keeps dangerous secrets of his own. To break free, she must unravel the mystery of her past and fight for a future that both frightens and calls to her." --
