How To Marry A Winged King

Cinders just wanted to dance at the ball.
But she becomes part of a game to find a fae king's bride.

As a lowly human, Cinders has never been good enough for her noble fae family - but she can’t escape them. Every dawn, the magic binding her to their manor calls her back.

When the fae king announces he’ll choose a bride at the Thrice-Held Ball, Cinders is of course forbidden to attend. Even if the dancing doesn’t go past dawn, her family would never allow her to be seen with them. But after she receives a pair of enchanted shoes that alter her appearance, she can’t resist the chance to become someone else for a night. She’ll dance in disguise for the three nights of the ball and enjoy her small stolen freedom.

She never expected to catch the fae king’s eye, or for her act of rebellion to turn into something far more dangerous. Everyone wants to know who the mysterious masked lady is, and they won’t rest until they find out. King Tawhiri sees her as no one ever has before, but how can she trust it’s more than just enchantment at work?

Can she make it home by dawn? And does she even want to marry a winged king, anyway?

A gorgeous reimagining of the Cindarella story, set in an enchanting world full of fae, magic and romance.
