Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

Galen resists the gifts, assuring the old lady that his days as a soldier are over and he seeks a life of peace, where magic won’t be needed. And then there is the greatest gift of all – a magic cloak of invisibility. There is a white ball of yarn, “white like a swan”. There is a ball of black yarn, “black like iron”, the good frau tells him. Galen’s kindness to an old lady on the road to Westfallin results in some unusual gifts. In desperation, he offers the hand of a princess to the man who can solve the riddle. Even as King Gregor tries to negotiate new trade agreements with neighbors word of what is happening with his daughters spreads.

Westfallin has just come out of a costly, nearly impossibly won war against Analouisa and they are already in a precarious position financially. Their father the King is at his wit’s end trying to figure out exactly what is happening, and his biddable and sweet tempered daughters are magically prevented from telling him. Forced to partner his sons in waltzes until their feet are sore and their shoes worn through. Every night she and her sisters are forced to dance for the King Under Stone. Princess Rose has been cursed almost the entirety of her life. Hearing others talk about it, even if it was just cover design, gave me the impetuous to pull it out and get it read. I had this book in my TBR and had not yet been motivated to move it up the stack. the cover for this novel was mentioned on the Potpourri board I was thrilled. Jessica lives with her husband, their young son, and a five-pound Maltese named Pippin in a house that needs to be vacuumed much too often. She had been a movie store clerk, librarian, bookseller, and school office lady before she got her big break.
