About this listen

If a fairy godmother can get one sister into a marriage, getting another out of one should be easy

Lady Theodosia Balfour has certainly gotten the short end of the stick—her stepsister, the newly crowned Princess Beatrice, is telling everyone in polite society that Theo, her sister, and their mother are evil, wicked, and horrid people who treated her like a slave. Though Theo knows this isn't exactly true, it seems her life is thoroughly ruined by the rumor. With the Balfour family estate on the verge of bankruptcy, Theo's only path forward is a forced betrothal to the Duke of Snowbell, a foul-tempered geezer who wishes only to use her as a brood mare for spare heirs.

Desperate for help, Theo clings to the only thing that might save her: the rumor of a fairy godmother, one that supposedly helped her stepsister secure a prince. After discovering a way to summon a fairy in Beatrice's old room, Theo thinks her prayers have been answered. But the fairy she meets isn't at all what she imagined. Drop-dead gorgeous, incredibly cunning, and slightly devious, Cecily of the Ash Fairies is much more interested in gathering powerful favors and smoking her pipe than providing charitable magic for humans in a bind.

Before she receives magical assistance, Cecily sets Theo to three tasks, seemingly to prove that Theo is a selfless and kind person. Helping her along the way are Cecily's familiars, the flirty human-turned-mockingbird Phineas and the aloof Kasra, a fox shapeshifter who should not be as handsome as he is for someone with such cutting remarks. As Theo works on her tasks, she shockingly finds kinship with the magical creatures she's helping, and starts to wonder if a continued life among her human peers is what she really wants after all.

From debut author Laura J. Mayo comes a hilarious new spin on the Cinderella tale!

Love a good Cinderella retelling!

This is an incredibly well done retelling of Cinderella, especially as it’s from the POV of one of the stepsisters. It’s fun, witty, and full of action; I am eagerly awaiting the next one!

Fairytale Retelling

If you love fairytale retellings, this book is perfect for you. It is based on the story of Cinderella but is told from the perspectives of one of the stepsisters and the fairy godmother. The narrative explores why one of the sisters, named Beatrice in this book, was so unkind to Cinderella. It also presents a journey of self-discovery for the step-sister. Additionally, we get a glimpse into the backstory of Cinderella and Prince Charming—spoiler alert: they didn’t fall in love in a single night! If you enjoy magical creatures, creative bargains, schemes, and mischief, you will definitely enjoy this book.
