A gender-bent retelling of the classic fairy tale Cinderella.

A handsome, mysterious lord with silver hair and golden eyes has created quite the stir in Glass Kingdom among the female populace. They’ve granted this man the nickname of "Heartbreaker of Glass Kingdom' due to the fact that he never sleeps with his conquests more than once.

One night, while Ashe Smoldris is at a casino, an eccentric young woman wearing a unicorn mask appears, and gets into trouble when she plays a game of poker in one of the backrooms and loses. When it turns out the girl doesn’t have the money with her to pay off her debt, she almost gets herself sold off as a slave.

In a strange twist of fate, Ashe unwittingly ends up saving the princess of Glass Kingdom. Because of his daring rescue, Juleka falls in love with Ashe and starts to watch over him from the shadows. After Juleka saves Ashe from the clutches of the seductress Lady Doriana Gray, Ashe begins to develop tentative feelings for Juleka, but the dark secrets she’s been keeping from him put their bourgeoning love to the test.

Even though Ashe presents himself at the casinos in Glass City as a wealthy lord, his true identity is that he’s a slave. His mother sold Ashe to the nefarious loan shark Lord Christian Tremaine to settle her gambling debt. In order to buy his freedom back from Lord Tremaine and his sadistic sons who enjoy torturing Ashe for imagined slights, he has been whoring himself out to noblewomen.

But what Ashe really wants to be doing is to fight in the coliseum. Nobles bet on the outcome of the matches, and the winner makes a lot of money. Unfortunately, Ashe is a dullard - someone who has been born without magic, and only the magical races fight in the coliseum. If Ashe is to stand a chance in the arena against elves, witches, fairies, and vampires, he’s going to need an enchanted sword.

Ashe teams up with playboy prince Snow Flurris, and they travel to Bones Kingdom in search of Rapunzel’s Tower. Rapunzel is the best blacksmith in all of Fantasia. Will Ashe manage to convince the stoic man to forge him an enchanted sword for free?

Warning: This is a fairy tale for adults who are 18 and above and contains sex and foul language.

Action packed with good pace and lots of fun and interesting characters. Another well constructed story with wonderful detail painting vivid and colourful scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed Ashe's journey as he becomes one of Fantasia's hero's,

L. A. Johnson did a good job. His narration throughout this series keeps getting better.

I'm loving this series, each book's cover brilliantly captures each story, and I look forward to the next one.

By: KuroKoneko Kamen
Narrated by: L.A. Johnson
Series: Genderbent Fairytales Collection, Book 7
Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins


I listened to this book at 1.55X

FYI. This book is Part 1 to "read before Blacksmith Rapunzel." THIS IS ADULT FAIRTALES..NOT FOR UNDER 18.

If you like the t.v. Series "Once upon a time" adult fairtales you'll love this series.

It doesn't stick to one Fairytale line, it mixs different tales together.

Remember it's Genderbent . Its kind of cool.

Very enjoyable listen.

And L.A. Johnson does a great job bring the story to life.

Fun

Author is new to me and I have to say, it was a little weird at the beginning because of the names that belong to all the fairy princess was used for the male. But as I continue to keep on reading. I started to enjoy it. It’s not bad and I can’t wait to read the next book! LA Johnson did an excellent job at narrating

Different but interesting

Kurokoneko the author has written another great retelling in the series. This is book 7 . This story is a retelling of Cinderella, but with a twist .
Ashe is the lord in this story ( like Cinderella) . He’s the cook and cleans the house to his stepbrothers and stepfather . He became popular and was awarded because he saved a Royal couple . This story has it all , magic , fai , dragons and witches . The author Kurokoneko always writes a story that makes you remember your younger years .

LA Johnson performance was great . He has done this whole series , strong , steady and clear

Another great one in the fantastic series

I just love Ashe and the Glass Sword! KuroKoneko Kamen does not disappoint! In this book she delivers another amazing genderbent fairytale, this one echoing... you guessed it... Cinderella (or should we say Cinderfella!) Like her other genderbents there are some aspects that you will recognize but do not be deterred, for it is a WHOLE NEW STORY! That's right! This is not just the same old story with the the genders flipped but a whole new tale! You grownups with an unending love of fairy tales, this is for you! Don't pass it up!

Highly recommended!

I loved this gender bent retelling of the fairytale. It was amazing to get the roles flipped and these characters were so much fun. I loved getting to listen to this book and the twists this author put on this story. I want to read the other books in this story since this was so good! Ashe is a character I was rooting for from the moment this story started. He has a rough situation that he is trying to save himself from and he also has a mysterious woman he wants to save. The action and magic was amazing along with the magical creatures and other character. I loved this so much!

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the detail and the imagination that it took to put this story together. I'm happy as always that good wins over evil. I skipped around a bit in this series so i'm ready for the next one.

Good book.
