About this Event

Join Village Books in welcoming back #1 New York Times- bestselling author Marissa Meyer to the Readings Gallery to celebrate her epic return to fairytale retellings with The Hour Saphir!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling "Queen of Fairytale Retellings" and author of Cinder and Heartless, this is the tale of Bluebeard as it's never been told before--a thrilling romantasy and M**der mystery.

Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts, which is rarely as useful as one would think. She and her sister have maintained the family business, eking out a paltry living by selling bogus spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of the infamous mansion where the first of the Saphir murders took place.

Mallory is a self-proclaimed expert on Count Bastien Saphir—otherwise known as Monsieur Le Bleu—who brutally killed three of his wives more than a century ago. But she never expected to meet Bastien's great-great grandson and heir to the Saphir estate. Armand is handsome, wealthy, and convinced that the Fontaine Sisters are as talented as they claim. The perfect mark. When he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of Le Bleu's ghost, she can't resist. A paid vacation at Armand's country manor? It's practically a dream come true, never mind the ghosts of murdered wives and the monsters that are as common as household pests.

But when M**der again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she'll have to solve the M**der and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft.

But that all sounds relatively easy compared to her biggest challenge: learning to trust her heart. Especially when the person her heart wants the most might be a murderer himself.

Marissa Meyer is the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles series, the Renegades trilogy, the Gilded Duology, the Wires and Nerve graphic novels, and The Lunar Chronicles Coloring Book. Her first standalone novel, Heartless, was also a #1 New York Times–bestseller, and she has also written two standalone rom-coms, Instant Karma and With a Little Luck. Her first middle-grade novel is Let It Glow, written with Joanne Levy. Marissa hosted a popular podcast, "The Happy Writer," and her book of the same name shares her writing tips and experiences. She lives in Tacoma, Washington, with her husband and their two daughters. marissameyer.com
