Cinderella Is Dead

Two hundred years have passed since Cinderella found her prince, but the fairytale is over.

Sophia knows Cinderella’s story by heart. Every girl in the kingdom must recite it daily from a tender age until the night she is sent to the royal ball, where she may be chosen by a suitor. Girls have only one chance, and those not chosen … their lives are effectively over, in service or worse.

But Sophia is different. She doesn’t want to be chosen; her heart already belongs to her best friend, Erin. The very notion of being treated like an object, traded from one man to another, is abhorrent to her. When the fateful night of the ball arrives, it descends into chaos, forcing Sophia to flee for her life.

Alone and terrified, Sophia finds refuge in a place laden with history and legend: Cinderella’s tomb. In the darkness, she encounters an unexpected ally with promises of a new perspective on the world she thought she knew so well. This encounter becomes the catalyst for Sophia to embrace her inner strength and challenge the oppressive societal norms enforced by the kingdom.

Cinderella Is Dead is an electrifying twist on the classic fairytale that breathes new life into familiar lore. This enthralling story of resistance and hope will inspire readers to shatter confining stereotypes and chase their dreams, no matter the cost.
