Cinderella: The Cursed Slipper

In the crumbling halls of Ashworth Grange, Eleanor Vance has learnt to survive on silence, obedience and ash-stained hands. Kept as a servant by the cold and calculating Lady Tremaine, she expects little from life beyond hearths to clean, silver to polish and memories too painful to touch.

Then she discovers a hidden silver locket beneath the library floorboards.

Soon after, in the dust-choked attic, she finds a single glass slipper glowing with impossible light.

But the slipper is no simple gift of magic. The slipper hums with shadow, answers the locket’s call, and shows Eleanor visions of power, beauty and revenge. On the mist-laden moors beyond Ashworth Grange, ancient willows whisper warnings of the queen's blood, dark vessels and the hungry magic of the Umbral Weave. The slipper offers her a gown of shadows, a path to the royal ball, and a chance to be seen at last.

Yet every enchantment has its price.

As Eleanor moves toward Silverwood Castle and Prince Alaric’s glittering ballroom, the line between liberation and possession begins to blur. Lady Tremaine has secrets of her own; the ancient magic beneath Eldoria is waking, and the glass slipper may not be trying to save Eleanor at all.

It may be trying to claim her.

Cinderella: The Cursed Slipper is a dark gothic fantasy retelling filled with cursed magic, moorland mystery, dangerous longing, family cruelty, hidden bloodlines and the haunting question of what a desperate heart will sacrifice for freedom.
