"Gorgeous and ornate, this sensual fairy tale illuminates the corrosive and redemptive power of both love and lies." — Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night
"A fairy tale in the oldest and truest sense: a haunting dream full of blood and love, vicious truths and beautiful lies. It swallowed me whole, and I went willingly." — Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches

"Roshani Chokshi knows fairy tales and myth like few other writers, and in these pages, her knowledge of those traditions shimmers like actual magic. The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is not only a thrillingly inventive modern fairy tale, but also a book that invites us to rethink all fairy tales. This novel is addictive, decadent, and sultry—a dark fantasy, a subtle and sensitive story of female friendship, and a seductive examination of the mysteries of marriage itself. It will shock, disarm, and delight you, with surprise reverberating all the way to its very last lines." — Sanjena Sathian, author of Gold Diggers
“Darkly gorgeous and utterly entrancing, Chokshi's adult fairy tale is as deadly as any fable of old; the lush, glittering prose and haunting mystery gilding a story sharper than a huntsman's blade.” — Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass
"I’m not sure I can capture how much this book moved, gripped, devoured me. Chokshi draws stars from the darkness.

"The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a novel steeped in tradition—from the gothic genre through world myths and fairy stories—and yet it weaves itself into something fresh and original. I very much enjoyed Chokshi's exploration of the enchantments that can exist within human relationships, the subtleties of friendship, the stories we tell to ourselves, and the lengths we will go to belong. A beautifully conjured tale." — Claire Heywood, author of Daughters of Sparta
“A unicorn tapestry of folklore, magic, and monsters, woven with the nimblest hand and the most shimmering gilded thread. Roshani Chokshi is a master of all things baroque, sensuous, and mystical.” — Ava Reid, bestselling author of The Wolf and the Woodsman
"Bestseller Chokshi makes her adult debut with a lush and haunting modern fairy tale about the nature of friendship and love. . . . Chokshi’s prose overflows with metaphor and lavish imagery, adding to the decadent, gothic feel as the mystery of Indigo’s past intensifies. The result is equal parts dizzying, dazzling, and foreboding.” — Publishers Weekly
“The gothic atmosphere of this fairy-tale romance, mixed with heartbreaking tragedy, creates a story that hovers between fantasy and illusion. It begins with an enchantment and ends with its breaking. In between, a dream becomes a nightmare—until they both wake up. Chokshi’s adult debut is recommended for lovers of gothic romance, magical realism, and stories where fairy tales come true, especially when they shouldn’t.” — Library Journal
"Equal parts fairy tale, friendship story, and an examination of marriage, this gothic tale is lush and haunting. Chokshi, already a best-selling author of children's and YA books, returns to the adult world in this winning, original work. Highly recommended for all fantasy collections." — Booklist, starred review
"Roshani Chokshi's transfixing first novel for adults is a fairytale-infused story about marriage and the secrets couples keep from each other. That, and an enchanted house off the coast of Washington and hotel fortune." — Today.com
