The Fairy's Tale: Discover the Truth about Fairy Tales: A Fractured Cinderella Retelling

By F.D. Lee

Book Overview

What happens when Cinderella refuses to be Cinderella?

Meet Bea, an underestimated cabbage fairy desperate to prove her worth as a fairy godmother. After years of being overlooked, she is finally given a chance-a straightforward Cinderella story. The catch? Bea has one week to get her unsuspecting Cinderella to fall in love and marry the king or be redacted.

Luckily, Bea's heroine is beautiful, impoverished, and kind. The sort of girl who bakes cakes and sings to animals. Of course she'll want to marry the king. That's what every beautiful, impoverished, kind girl wants Isn't it...?

Bea soon discovers her heroine has different ambitions. And that isn't the only problem. The ugly stepsister has plans of her own, while the mysterious Royal Advisor-a character who isn't even in this plot -knows far more about Bea's task than he should.

As she starts to question the stories she's always believed in, Bea discovers that Happily Ever After comes with rules: who gets to be good, who gets to be bad, and who gets to be happy.

Now Bea must decide whether to complete the story she's been given or write her own ending, even if it means being redacted...
