Cindermaid Now Available on Amazon
CINDERMAID —the final book in a special two-part Cinderella re-telling from THE DARK WOODS --is now available on Amazon. Snag it for the special sales price of 99 cents from October 16th- 23rd, and find the prequel, CHARMING, on Amazon as well.
Picking up where its prequel left off, CINDERMAID finds Elle's household sinking rapidly into madness, as Jack is learning of a possible means of breaking Molly's curse and freeing himself of its consequences forever.
To lonely Elle, the only remaining servant of the house, existence itself seems a dreary burden until an encounter with magic offers her the impossible: a glimpse of an outside world beyond her wildest dreams. Such an encounter, however, has a price; the shadow of Madame Levier threatens Elle's happiness and even her very existence as secrets from her stepmother's past slowly begin to surface.
As for Jack, time is running out. Trapped between the consequences of Molly's curse and the possibility of losing everything he now possesses, he'll do anything to escape -- even if it means manipulating a magical being whose powers are meant for another.
From fairy pools and forbidden flames, to circuses and sailors' lairs, the glorious magic of a human fairy and the opulence of three grand balls paint a complex world -- one in which a beautiful gown may not be enough to conquer a throne and the persuasion of magic requires more than merely a desire to control it.
