A Wish of Ashes and Glass
A Cinderella Retelling
By Selina A. Fenech
Ellasyn has a secret power, one that could be easily abused in the wrong hands.
he can heal, but only by taking on the illness or injury herself.
When the king holds a ball to find a bride for his son, Ellasyn only goes to enjoy a night away from the constant cruelty her step-father subjects her to. She isn’t interested in princes. Then she meets the charming and mysterious Ara who seems to have secrets of her own.
When the grand ball ends with an attempt on the king’s life, how can Ellasyn let herself be open to romance? Anyone could be the assassin, and Ellasyn’s kind heart could be a death sentence.
A Wish of Ashes and Glass is a standalone, young adult, sapphic retelling of Cinderella with a twist you won’t see coming.
