In this new stand-alone novella from New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor comes the story of a romantic, funny, and fantastical first date. 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, its 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.
