How to Marry a Winged King
A.J. Lancaster What if Cinderellaâs step-family were fae?
As a lowly human, Cinders has never been good enough for her noble fae familyâbut she canât escape them. Every dawn, the magic binding her to their manor calls her back.
When the fae king announces heâll choose a bride at the Thrice-Held Ball, Cinders is of course forbidden to attend. Even if the dancing doesnât go past dawn, her family would never allow her to be seen with them.
But after she receives a pair of enchanted shoes that alter her appearance, she canât resist the chance to become someone else for a night. Sheâll dance in disguise for the three nights of the ball and enjoy her small stolen freedom.
She never expected to catch the fae kingâs eye, or for her act of rebellion to turn into something far more dangerous. Everyone wants to know who the mysterious masked lady is, and they wonât rest until they find out. King TÄwhiri sees her as no one ever has before, but how can she trust itâs more than just enchantment at work? Can she make it home by dawn? And does she even want to marry a winged king, anyway?
