ByPublisher Description
In this stand-alone companion to the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone series comes the story of Mik and Zuzana's fantastical first date—featuring bonus content!
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 make the first move, 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 leading him to the treasure: herself! Violin Boy is not going to know what hit him.
New York Times bestselling author Laini 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.

“I love Zuzana, so of course I enjoyed this 🍫🍰🎭”
“This is such a fun romantic novel set in the world of "Daughter of Smoke & Bone". This specific story takes place midway through book 1, when Karou has left on her personal "gathering" mission. Zuzana is given her own mission: get the gorgeous violin boy to notice her. Through her own quirky methods (and a touch of magical help), we jump into both her POV & violin boy's POV to watch it all unfold.
This book is so amazing because of how weird Zuzana is, it's so unpredictable and adorable!”
“I really enjoyed this little story. Mik and Zuzanna were two of my favorites from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. Reading this actually made me want to reread the series.
This story was beautifully written and made me smile. Laini Taylor is definitely an author I can always count on to write something I’ll enjoy.”
