First in a duology that reimagines fairy tale tropes within a space opera--The Princess Bride meets Princess Leia. Rory Thorne is a princess with thirteen fairy blessings, the most important of which is to see through flattery and platitudes. As the eldest daughter, she always imagined she'd inherit her father's throne and govern the interplanetary Thorne Consortium. Then her father is assassinated, her mother gives birth to a son, and Rory is betrothed to the prince of a distant world. When Rory arrives in her new home, she uncovers a treacherous plot to unseat her newly betrothed and usurp his throne. An unscrupulous minister has conspired to name himself Regent to the minor (and somewhat foolish) prince. With only her wits and a small team of allies, Rory must outmaneuver the Regent and rescue the prince. How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse is a feminist reimagining of familiar fairytale tropes and a story of resistance and self-determination--how small acts of rebellion can lead a princess to not just save herself, but change the course of history.

How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse

Emma Miller

She thought she should feel lonely, and did, for exactly twn hours, at which point she realized that there was no one to observe her loneliness and take pity on her.

… and that if one wants to succeed at arithmancy, one should employ a degree of flattery, trickery, or raw talent.

And it was one in which he was not assumed to be a player. He was accustomed to being a pawn.

Or rather, he would have said, what does she want, except that Jaed's right fist interrupted him.
