This fresh take on a classic story will make readers question the tales they've been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all-and in the process, they learn that there's more to Cinderella's story than they ever knew. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. She’s headstrong, kind of an attack now, plan as I go kind of girl. Sophie is brave and angry and incapable of giving up on the people she loves, and I love those things about her. It’s a bit dark, between the twisted fairy tale story and some dark magic and violence. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella's mausoleum. All that aside, CINDERELLA IS DEAD was a super quick read. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl's display of finery.
It's 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. "Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that's perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert.
