Description
In the kingdom of Ayortha, who is the fairest of them all Certainly not Aza. She is thoroughly convinced that she is ugly. What she may lack in looks, though, she makes up for with a kind heart, and with something no one else has-a magical voice. Her vocal talents captivate all who hear them, and in Ontio Castle they attract the attention of a handsome prince-and a dangerous new queen. In this New York Times bestselling novel filled with humor, adventure, romance, and song, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine invites you to join Aza as she discovers how exquisite she truly is. New cover! Fairest, Ella Enchanted, Ever, and The Two Princesses of Bamarre all have beautiful new covers illustrated by the same artist who created the jacket art for Gail Carson Levine's newest novel, A Tale of Two Castles. EXTRAS inside! An interview with the author, a deleted scene, and a teaser to A Tale of Two Castles!
