I’m not who you think I am. My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen, as the rumours insist, in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. Instead, with the help of a touchingly tragic past and the some highly illegal spells, my stepsisters and I infiltrated the ball and captured the attention of the prince. I became a princess, secured our fortunes, and ensured we’d all live happily ever after. But of course, there’s always more to the story. Now my magic is running out, war is looming, and a handsome hostage prince, the wrong prince, is distracting me with his magnetic charm and forbidden flirtations. I’m in danger of losing control of the delicate balance I’ve created and that could prove fatal. There’s so much more riding on this than a crown.
