Perfect for fans of Bridgerton and The Selection!Cendrillon de Louvois was poised to be the most eligible maiden in all of France. But the death of her father, the king’s favorite advisor, has left Cendrillon at the will of her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Dubbed Lady Cinder by the court, Cendrillon is forced to become a servant to her new family. But when she attends the royal ball, she catches the eye of the handsome Prince Louis and his younger brother, Auguste. Even though Cendrillon has an immediate aversion to Louis and a connection with Auguste, the only way to escape her stepmother is to compete with the other girls at court for the Prince’s hand. As her stepmother’s cruelty grows, Cendrillon captures the prince’s heart . . . though her own heart belongs to Auguste. Cendrillon’s fate rests on one question: Can she bear losing the boy she loves in order to leave a life she hates?

"I love the new take on the classic tale. I also loved Augustus character, like a lot."
Taya Johnson
"A brilliant retelling of Cinderella. De La Cruz puts a wonderful spin on a classic tale. Perfect for middle school readers."
Tanya Grayson Andoniadis
"Pretty good retelling of Cinderella. For the most part the plot is more realistic than the cartoon, aside from some talk of love potions. My only complaint is that there is no filler plot or fluff. Every single thing you read is relevant to something else that is going to happens so there’s no guess work as to what’s going to happen next. This could have been a longer book that really kept you on your toes, but it was a very predictable & quick read. "
