Heartless Hette (Hearth and Bard Tales #3)

When Princess Hette refuses a sorcerer's proposal, he retaliates by stealing her heart—literally.

Desperate to resist his influence, Hette makes herself emotionless, stifling all feelings until she can find her heart and win it back. Only Konrad, the despised Court Fool, knows where to find the sorcerer, and he has his own curse to battle.

Riddles and magic plague their path, including a memory stealing witch, an unbeatable knight, and a magic book that would as soon drown them as lead them to their destination. Yet, if Hette can't find the sorcerer in time, her heart will be the least of her losses.

"Heartless Hette reads like an old favorite, a fairytale both familiar and unknown. M. L. Farb spins out stories within stories and cleverly ties them all together by the end. Her vivid imagery and well-drawn characters are sure to capture even a clockwork heart." — Joanna Ruth Meyer, author of Into the Heartless Wood
