Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz pens a lush, swoon-worthy retelling of Cinderella set in lavish Versailles. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Selection!

Cendrillon de Louvois was poised to be the most eligible maiden in all of France. But the death of her father, the king's favourite advisor, has left Cendrillon at the will of her cruel stepmother and stepsisters.

Dubbed Lady Cinder by the court, Cendrillon is forced to become a servant to her new family. But when she attends the royal ball, she catches the eye of the handsome Prince Louis and his younger brother, Auguste.

Even though Cendrillon has an immediate aversion to Louis and a connection with Auguste, the only way to escape her stepmother is to compete with the other girls at court for the Prince's hand.

As her stepmother's cruelty grows, Cendrillon captures the prince's heart... though her own heart belongs to Auguste. Cendrillon's fate rests on one question: Can she bear losing the boy she loves in order to leave a life she hates?
