A Fan Playlist for Never Ever After
Never Ever After is different kind of fairy tale, one where monsters wear crowns and nothing is as it initially seems. Its heroine, Yining, goes on a truly epic quest, one deserving of a suitably epic soundtrack. This is music for when you need to infiltrate a royal palace, to face down a fierce warrior in a dangerous competition, to flee on horseback through the night, or even for when a prince turns out to be not so charming. Yes, there are four separate songs titled, “Cinderella” (I couldn’t resist). So, whether you’re curled up with your book or embarking on a quest of your own, here’s a playlist inspired by Sue Lynn Tan’s Never Ever After.
The New York Times bestseller!
Not all fairy tales end happily ever after in this dark, fierce reimagining of Cinderella by the bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess—for fans of Holly Black, Tahereh Mafi, and Stephanie Garber.
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.
The breathtaking sequel to the New York Times bestselling Never Ever After, this epic fantasy finds Yining on the run and fighting to save her family and her kingdom.
