Synopsis: Fans of Melissa Meyer’s Heartless will adore this triumphant retelling of the classic Grimm Fairy Tale. “Allerleirauh is my new favorite read! Full of adventures, romance, and magic. You won't be disappointed when you grab a copy!” - The Book Nook Blog In the kingdom of Tranen, a king makes a promise to his dying wife that he'll only remarry a woman who possesses her golden hair. In time, the king's eyes are turned by his daughter. Realizing her father’s intentions, Princess Aurelia tries to trick him by requesting impossible gifts: dresses created by the sun, moon and stars, and a coat made of a thousand furs. But when he is successful, Aurelia sacrifices her privileged life and flees her kingdom, disguised by a cloak and a new name, Allerleirauh. She enters the safe haven of Saarland der Licht, where the handsome and gentle Prince Klaus takes her under his care. Hoping to remain undetected by her father’s courtiers, Allerleirauh remains hidden under her new identity when she finds unexpected love with Prince Klaus, even as his arranged marriage to the princess of a neighboring kingdom approaches. Risking everything, Allerleirauh must face her troubled past and her fears of the future in her journey to self-acceptance. *TW: Sexual Violence
