Tales of Cinder

A dark, twisted Cinderella retelling that fans of Sarah J. Maas and/or Melanie Dickerson are sure to enjoy. Magic can have deadly consequences. When the sudden and suspicious death of Eloise's mother points to forbidden magic, Eloise is determined to bring her mother's murderer to justice. She will stop at nothing to find the killer...even if the clues lead right to the palace gates and the prince's manservant, Kaven. He is irrational, volatile, and prone to knocking women off horses. Given his personality, it should be easy to find the proof she needs to place him in irons. However, when dark magic is used, nothing is as it seems, and Eloise is about to learn that nightmares often hide behind fairy tale lives.

A single blow shattered my life of glass. They shouldn't have left me with the shards. Eloise knows the name of her mother's murderer, but she cannot speak it. A curse keeps her silent and locked in the tattered remains of her once charming life. Though magic holds her tongue, it doesn't quell the smoldering spark of her anger or her need to learn the reason behind her mother's death. However, games of magic have dire consequences. Desperate to keep those she loves safe from the repercussions of her actions, Eloise must make a bold gamble with her safety that could win her everything or destroy her forever. Two lives hang in the balance. For, if Cinder fails, Snow will fall, too.
