The daughter of a famous shoemaker who fell on hard times when he lost his talent, Fortunata is forced to use every inch of her cleverness to make ends meet. Unfortunately, she and her father are forced to leave home after making a deadly enemy, and they soon fall in with a band of rogues. Masquerading as a fortune teller, Fortunata is forced to weave a grand, and entirely false, prophecy for Prince Leonato of Doma. Now she has to find a way to make it come true, to save her father’s life. Luckily, she’s always been good at improvising. But will she follow her heart or her head when the time comes to make a choice? Featuring a feisty, resourceful heroine, Fortune’s Folly is a charming fairy tale that’s bound to please. The magic is subtle, the characterization rich, and the plot comfortable without being overly familiar. This is an author to watch.
