The first myth-and-magic laden novel in the Fairy Godmother series, Danielle Paige’s Wish of the Wicked is sure to enchant and grip readers who love Kalynn Bayron’s YA fairy tale reinventions and Brigid Kemmerer’s novels. It retells Cinderella from the fairy godmother’s perspective, with a deliciously deadly twist and rich story-world that ripples with revenge and romance.
“We were Entente. For centuries we had been at the side of every queen and king in every Queendom, as advisors, confidants, leaders. We were the whispers…We were the Fates.” For centuries, Farrow and her fellow Ententes worked with the Three Fates of the Past, Present and Future to advise leaders of the Thirteen Queendoms. Equilibrium is shot when Queen Magrit burns Hecate, Fate of the Future, at the stake, and decrees that all Entente must die.
Now 16, Farrow is the only remaining Entente, and she’s set on revenge. After deciding the most potent way of doing this is through Queen Magrit’s son, Prince Mather, Farrow faces a struggle between heart and heart, revenge and love. And so a passion-and-peril-packed story unfolds through an undulating plot of complexities and conflict.

Wish of the Wicked Synopsis
Bibbidi-bobbidi-blood.
Everyone knows that a fairy godmother helped Cinderella get to the ball where she met the prince. No one knows that the fairy godmother's motives for helping Cinderella might not have been as charming as they seem. Until now ...
For centuries, the enchanted members of the Entente used their magic to keep the Thirteen Queendoms in harmony. Until the day that Queen Magrit outlawed magic, executed the Entente, and plunged the queendoms into war.
Only one Entente survives. Alone and magicless, Farrow dreams of nothing but revenge. And the best way to reach the queen is through her son, Prince Mather, who is nearing the age when he will need a bride. But the closer Farrow gets to the prince, the more she finds herself drawn to him. To reclaim her magic and destroy the queen, Farrow will have to question what-and more importantly, who-she's willing to sacrifice.
Set in a lush, dangerous world woven with fairy tale mythology, New York Times bestselling author Danielle Paige launches a brand new Fairy Godmother origin story full of intrigue, magic, and romance.
