There’s so much more riding on this than a crown. With my magic running out, war looming, and a handsome hostage prince-the wrong prince-distracting me from my true purpose with his magnetic charm and forbidden flirtations, I’m in danger of losing control of the delicate balance I’ve created.

And with a touchingly tragic past and the help of some highly illegal spells, I would become a princess, secure our fortunes, and we would all live happily ever after.īut there’s always more to the story. We were taught how to get everything we wanted in this world, everything men always kept for themselves: power, wealth, and prestige. My stepsisters and I had been trained for this-to be the cleverest in the room, to be quick with our hands and quicker with our lies. On the first evening of the ball, I didn’t meekly help my “evil” stepmother and stepsisters primp and preen or watch forlornly out the window as their carriage rolled off toward the palace. My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen-as the rumors insisted-in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. “A dazzlingly magical, thrilling, and inventive take on a beloved classic.”-Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Payback's a Witch Ladies and Gents, there are somethings in life that take a little more time than normally should and this was one of them for me.
