The fairy tale is ended, even if it was set 200 years ago when Cinderella met her prince. Nowadays, teenage ladies have to show up for the Annual Ball, when the men of the kingdom choose their spouses depending on how well-groomed the girls are. If no appropriate match is identified, the females who are not selected get no further communication.
Sophia, sixteen, would much rather wed Erin, her closest friend from childhood, than show off for potential suitors. After making the difficult choice to leave the ball, Sophia ends herself hiding in Cinderella's tomb. Constance, the sole surviving descendant of Cinderella and her step-sisters, is introduced to her there. As they work together to overthrow the king once and for all, they discover more about Cinderella's tale than they had previously realised.
Readers will be prompted to consider the stories they have been taught and to support girls who defy the social norms in their environment by this innovative interpretation of a timeless tale.
