Ésta no es la clase de cuento de hadas en la que la princesa se casa con un príncipe, sino en la que ella lo mata. Después de ver a sus hermanas sufrir durante años a manos de un príncipe maltratador, Marra —la tímida hermana menor criada en un convento— se da cuenta por fin de que nadie vendrá a rescatarlas. Nadie, excepto ella misma. Entonces, una poderosa bruja le ofrece a Marra los medios para matar al príncipe, si primero es capaz de completar tres tareas imposibles. Pero, como es habitual en los cuentos de príncipes, brujas e hijas marginadas, lo imposible es sólo el principio. A la misión de Marra se unen la bruja, una renuente hada madrina, un excaballero caído en desgracia y una gallina poseída por un demonio. Juntos, intentarán liberar a la familia de Marra y a su reino de su tirano gobernante. «Un cuento de hadas feminista sumamente gratificante y oscuramente divertido».
