For all Laini Taylor fans who believed they had to wait until April 2014 to be able to enjoy more of the ‘Daughter of Smoke and Bone’ series, you are in for a wonderful treat! Introducing NIGHT OF CAKE & PUPPETS!

Laini has announced an ebook novella titled NIGHT OF CAKE & PUPPETS (I know, isn’t that title amazing!) which will be released on 26 November 2013. This novella is the story of the first date of our favourite little “rabid fairy”, Zuzana, and her “violin boy”, Mik.

Synopsis: In Night of Cake & Puppets, Taylor brings to life a night only hinted at in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—the magical first date of fan-favorites Zuzana and Mik. Told in alternating perspectives, it’s the perfect love story for fans of the series and new readers alike. Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her “rabid fairy,” her “voodoo eyes” are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or “Violin Boy,” her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It’s a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter’s night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself! Violin Boy’s not going to know what hit him
