About this listen

Sparks fly and lovers dance in this gorgeous, yearning Cinderella retelling from bestselling author Freya Marske – a queer Gothic fairy tale novella perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and T. Kingfisher.

'A spellbinding haunting'
LEX CROUCHER


You think you know Cinderella’s story: the ball, the magical shoes, the handsome prince.

You’re halfway right, and all-the-way wrong.

Ella is a haunting. Murdered at sixteen, her furious ghost is trapped in her father’s house, invisible to everyone except her stepmother and stepsisters.

Even when she discovers how to untether herself from her prison, there are limits. She cannot be seen or heard by the living people who surround her. Her family must never learn she is able to leave. And at the stroke of every midnight, she finds herself back on the staircase where she died.

Until she forges a wary friendship with a fairy charm-seller, and makes a bargain for three nights of almost-living freedom. Freedom that means she can finally be seen. Danced with. Touched.

'Whimsical, romantic, and bittersweet'
AVA REID


Rediscover a classic fairy tale in this spellbinding novella from Freya Marske, the queen of romantic fantasy.
