Never Ever After is a magnificent Sunday Times bestseller!
IN THIS FAIRYTALE, THE MONSTER WEARS A CROWN.
Life has become too dangerous for fairy tales.
In the harsh kingdom of the Iron Mountains, Yining forges a bleak existence as a skilled thief. When she discovers an enchanted ring of immense worth, it is stolen by her step-aunt, and Yining must venture into the imperial palace to seize it back.
Amid the grandeur of the palace, Yining catches the eye of the ruthless and ambitious prince, but she is soon trapped in a tangle of power and betrayal - her only ally a cunning advisor from a rival court with secrets of his own.
To seek her freedom, she must embark on a perilous quest in a dazzling yet treacherous world where allies can be as deadly as enemies.
Never Ever After is a powerful and fierce reimagining of Cinderella, a breathtaking new fantasy romance influenced by Chinese fairytales from the acclaimed Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of the Moon Goddess.

📄 Exercise Your Right of Withdrawal
Under EU consumer law, you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days of receiving your order, without giving a reason. To formally exercise this right, use the button below. This is a distinct function separate from our general returns process.
Your right to cancel
If you order online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. This cooling-off period runs from the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last item in your order. To cancel, contact us at shop@chaptersbookstore.com stating your order number and your wish to withdraw from the purchase. Once we've confirmed your cancellation, you have 14 days to send the goods back to us.
Condition of returned items
To be eligible for a refund, your item must be returned unworn, unused and unread, in its original packaging, and in the same condition you received it. You'll also need your receipt or proof of purchase. If your return is based on the item's condition on arrival, please include a photo so we can advise the best resolution.
Faulty or damaged items
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us immediately if an item is defective, damaged, or not what you ordered. Separately from the 14-day cancellation right above, you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund on faulty goods for up to two years from purchase, under standard consumer guarantee rights.
