The second book in the Sisters Ever After series of fairy-tale retellings, this is the thrilling story of Cinderella's never-before-mentioned third "evil" stepsister, Tirza.

Meet Cinderella's third "wicked" stepsister, Tirza. For years, Tirza has lived with the shame of what her family did to Cinderella. Against everyone's advice, Cinderellaβ€”now Queen Ellaβ€”took a chance on young Tirza. She gave Tirza a home in the castle instead of banishing her. The queen told everyone Tirza was good and kind, not cruel like her older sisters.

But now Queen Ella's famous glass slippers are missing, and there's only one suspect...

Tirza may have tried them on, but she didn't steal them. Now she must find the true thief before she loses her royal home. As Tirza gets closer to the truth, she finds herself getting closer to something elseβ€”her sisters, who might not be quite as evil as Cinderella claims.
