This is a retelling of Cinderella with a twist. The Solis kingdom took over Eloria and kept their prince Rance as a hostage to keep unity within the lands. There is a birthday ball for prince Everett. Seraphina, Ash’s stepmother, plans for Ash and her daughters, Cecile and Adelaide, to attend the ball. Ash is presented as Aislinn and with the magic of luster powder, Everett falls in love with her. What they don’t know is Aislinn is a part of the underground rebellion. She needs to break into the dungeon and release Jameson Cross, the infamous leader of the Elorian rebellion. Things do not go to plan when Jameson kidnaps her and he is caught and sent back to the dungeon. The king and the rest of the royals suspects that she was involved with his escape, but they cannot prove it.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are well developed, and it is written in the first person point from Ash/Aislinn. I love the twist on the original fairy tale because instead of being an orphan girl who cleans cinders, she is a fighter in the rebellion. She reminds me of Princess Leia of Star Wars. If you like magical fairy tales with sneaky characters and twists, you will enjoy this book.
