It’s hard not to break in a world made of glass. Growing up, Ashling Glasby’s father cautioned her about the dark creatures—actual nightmares brought to life—dwelling beyond the barrier arc. Her father taught her to fear, fight, and guard against them. And when he wandered into the Winter Woods, driven mad by those beasts outside, he left her with a bitter stepmother and one final warning: the monsters would attack one day. That day comes the night of Prince Callum’s ball. In need of an heir by blood, he and his husband are searching for a woman to join their relationship. He finds hope in Ashling, the skittish young lady who shows up with a secret and seems to know far more about the nightmarish creatures threatening his kingdom than he ever thought possible. Intrigued, Callum asks Ashling to dance, but when midnight strikes, will the beasts that brought them together tear them apart? Bridgerton meets Stranger Things in this 40,000-word Cinderella retelling featuring dream magic, high stakes, princes in love, and—of course—a troublesome pair of glass-like slippers. It is intended for readers ages 18+; content notes can be found on the copyright page. The series is best enjoyed when read in the following order: Entwined (Book 1), Ensnared (Book 2).
