Moonlight & Ashes by Sophie Masson
I Dreamed Of Going To The Ball!
Selena,
having lost her mother at a young age, had been sent away to school.
Upon returning home she finds things vastly different, most notably is
the additions to her small family. Her father has remarried and her
stepmother is unreasonably cruel to her, as are her stepsisters. However
after years of being treated as a slave in her own home Selena
discovers a magical way to attend the prince's ball, change her fate and
fulfil her destiny.
Moonlight & Ashes
is a Cinderella story with witches, wizards, werewolves and wishes.
True love, mistaken identities, a journey, an assassination and destiny
weave together to produce a story more fairytale then fantasy, a story
that younger children will enjoy. However, as there are so many stories
retelling, reinventing and reproducing this age old classic in new and
differing ways, this particular tale unfortunately fails to stand out of
the crowd.
