There's the dust-wife, a powerful spiritualist who commands the dead from the comfort of her hut and won't leave behind her demon-possessed pet chicken. If she's going to succeed, she'll need to earn the help of a motley crew - and they're not the usual suspects one rounds up for a quest. Princess or not, she's just an ordinary woman with a little talent at embroidering and spinning and a tendency to be stubborn. Unwilling to abandon her remaining sister, Marra decides to set out on an impossible quest - to kill the prince who will otherwise make them both his victims. But then her middle sister issues a warning Marra can't ignore: Make sure you aren't next. When her eldest sister perishes falling down a flight of stairs, it seems like an accident. Kingfisher's latest, Nettle & Bone, Marra is a princess in reserve, sent off to live out her days at a convent in case both her sisters die before giving the all-powerful prince of the neighboring kingdom the heir he requires.
