About Cinderella Is Dead
Two hundred years after Cinderella’s story, the kingdom of Lille forces young women to attend an annual ball and be chosen as wives—or face disappearance and death. Sophia would rather marry her best friend Erin than submit, so she runs and joins Constance, Cinderella’s last known descendant, in a plan to overthrow the king.
