Cinderella is out for revenge on Prince Charming… the bloodier the better

Once, Elle thought being Prince Alexandres bride was a dream come to life. That was before he gave her the scars. Before she witnessed the cruel games he plays in his dungeons. Before she tried to assassinate him for the good of the kingdom.

He didnt execute her for her crime. That would have been too easy. Instead, he sent her back to live with her cruel stepfamily—as their maid. Her stepmother and stepsisters are eager accomplices in her humiliation, tossing her scraps like a dog, making her lick their floors clean. And every so often, Prince Alexandre himself pays a visit. He misses the sound of her screams too much to give her up entirely.

But now hes ready to choose her replacement. Hes invited every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a magnificent ball, where he will choose the most innocent of them all to break… the way he once broke Elle.

But no one else knows Prince Alexandre like Elle. She knows what he wants in a bride. She knows how to make herself irresistible to him. She knows she can make him choose her.

And once he does, shell have her revenge.

All she has to do is get to the ball…
