Heartless: A Fairy Tale Retelling - Hardcover

by Maria Caiazza (Author)

When magic and magical creatures are revealed to the world, giant Lord Bjorn Larsen's betrothed breaks off their engagement in favor of a more appropriate human suitor. In a fit of rage, the giant removes his heart from his body to become more powerful and unfeeling, like the giants of legend.

Prince Filip Magnusson finds himself in a pinch. His six older brothers went missing after leaving him behind to attend a ball, and now, he's in line to inherit the throne. Determined to save himself from taking a leadership role, he runs away to try and free his brothers, save the princess, and slay the giant scourge terrorizing the countryside. In order to win, he'll need to be a little Heartless.

Heartless is a modernized retelling of The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body with a dark fantasy twist.
