英文简介:
“Chokshi’s tale is as sweet as a piece of fairy fruit, and just as wicked.
Every bite is velvet, every swallow is gold, and the taste lingers like a fever dream.
” — V.
E.
Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue “A delightfully meta fairy tale.
.
.
.
Magic emanates from every exquisitely crafted sentence.

.
.
It feels like the best conjuring trick ever.
” — Charlie Jane Anders, Washington Post A sumptuous, gothic-infused story about a marriage that is unraveled by dark secrets, a friendship cursed to end in tragedy, and the danger of believing in fairy tales–the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi.
Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada.
He was a scholar of myths.
She was heiress to a fortune.
They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after–and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past.
But when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom will soon find himself unable to resist.
For within the crumbling manor’s extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo’s dearest childhood friend who suddenly disappeared.
As the house slowly reveals his wife’s secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage .
.
.
or their lives.
Combining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
?”Gorgeous and ornate, this sensual fairy tale illuminates the corrosive and redemptive power of both love and lies.
” — Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night “A fairy tale in the oldest and truest sense: a haunting dream full of blood and love, vicious truths and beautiful lies.
It swallowed me whole, and I went willingly.
” — Alix E.
Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches
