In preparation for the gathering, she is busily at work in the kitchen, much to her mother’s constant digress, creating pastries with all the flair and pizzaz of a most dedicated confectioner. Catherine finds the attention of the King to be a bother, but she must do her duty by her parents and attend the soiree in style. The story begins as Catherine and her handmaiden, Mary Anne, prepare for a party given by the King of Hearts, a tiny and silly little man who loves sweets - especially if said sweets come from a certain dark haired girl from Rock Turtle Cove. The story chronicles the life of one Catherine Pinkerton: the heiress to Rock Turtle Cove, a teenager who dreams of being a world class baker, a whimsical thinker, a devoted friend, and a vivaciously happy soul who lives under the thumb of two determined parents. Marissa Meyer, author of other such twisted tales as Fairest, Cinder, and Scarlett has tackled the Kingdom of Hearts in her new novel, Heartless. Have you ever asked yourself why the White Rabbit depends so much on a mystery woman named Mary Ann? Have you ever wondered how the Queen of Hearts of Wonderland came to be so…heartless?
