About The Shadow in the Glass
Ella once dreamed of more than life as a lowly maid, but now she is trapped in a Victorian household under a cruel man’s power. Her only refuge is the books she reads in secret, until a dark fairy-tale bargain offers wishes laced with curses. This gothic Cinderella reimagining trades glass slippers for smoke, lace and terrible consequences.
