In this Ugly Duckling retelling, New York Times bestselling author Melanie Dickerson brilliantly crafts a high-stakes, encouraging tale about the power of love.Ever since she was a child, Audrey wanted her life to be extraordinary. But as the daughter of a viscount born in late fourteenth-century England, the only thing expected of her was to marry—until an act of malice by her sister, Maris, four years ago damaged her face and her prospects. Though Maris was sent away, twenty-year-old Audrey is still suffering the scars of her sister&’s cruelty. When her father announces his plans to marry off his damaged daughter and bring Maris home, Audrey decides to flee in search of her true destiny.However, life outside her home is dangerous, and she soon finds herself attacked, sick, and in desperate need of help. She is taken in at Dericott Castle to be nursed back to health. While there, she decides to keep her identity a secret and work as a servant in the castle. But she doesn&’t count on falling in love with the young and handsome Lord Dericott, who lost his arm several months earlier and bears scars of his own.Meanwhile, Edwin—Lord Dericott—is curious about the new, well-educated servant&’s identity.

When the man Audrey&’s father wanted her to marry comes looking for her, she and Edwin must make life-changing decisions about what to believe and whether or not love is truly worth trusting.&“When it comes to happily-ever-afters, Melanie Dickerson is the undisputed queen.&” —JULIE LESSMAN, award-winning authorSecond in a brand-new series set in England: The Dericott TalesFull-length clean fairy-tale reimaginingIncludes Discussion Questions for Book Clubs
