That’s what this story is about. Instead of magic, you have the grit of one girl who is determined not to be stifled by the “proper place for women” in the manners of a medieval castle. Instead of the rags-to-riches story of the cinder-girl who becomes the prince’s bride, you have the riches-to-rags story of a reluctant princess whose dream turns into a nightmare. And instead of a coach turning into a pumpkin at the stroke of midnight, you have a long, desperate journey under cover of night.

For a truly original take on the Cinderella story, with a modern heroine struggling against medieval constraints, enjoy this brief novel from the author of Running Out of Time.
