Cinderella is Dead

200 years after Cinderella finds her prince, the fairy tale has faded. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives. If a suitable match is not found, the girls are never heard from again.

Sixteen-year-old Sophia would rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all–and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they could have ever guessed.

This fresh take on a classic story by Kalynn Bayron will make readers question the tales they’ve been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them.
