"Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely
Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that's perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert.
It's been 200 years since Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over.
In the kingdom of Lille, young women have two options: arrive at the ball to be selected as a wife, or forfeit their lives.
Sophia's options are even more limited, especially when she'd rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. Tonight, she'll make a desperate decision to flee once and for all. She never expected that running for her life would open a new door with a girl named Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her stepsisters.
Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all--and light a spark that could change the world as they know it.
