Darkness in a Glass Slipper

Once, Ella wanted more than the life of a simple servant.

Now the girl works herself to exhaustion for the man she once called her stepfather, and her only refuge is the books in the library where she is forbidden to enter.

One night, while Ella reads by candlelight, her wish comes true. Exactly at midnight a demon appears to her and makes an offer that will change her life: seven wishes in exchange for an immortal soul. But is Ella ready to pay such a price to break free from poverty and get her handsome prince?..

A dark retelling of “Cinderella” where there is no kind fairy godmother—only a demoness and a Faustian bargain. Book bloggers have praised the book. An absorbing atmosphere of Victorian times with Gothic notes and a unique fresh take on the well-known fairy tale. What is a person willing to do to make their dream come true? Seven wishes—seven steps into the darkness.
