About Inked in Ashes (Unabridged)

From New York Times bestselling author Shannon Meyer comes a riveting dark romantic fantasy fairy tale retelling of Cinderella , where a cursed heroine must navigate forbidden love with the King’s brother, a brewing revolution, and haunting secrets that could shatter the kingdom and change her destiny forever, perfect for fans of Once Upon a Time and Wicked. Escape the page, or die trying… I’ve spent twenty-five years in the Hollow, poor as dirt, cursed with a stepmother who hates me, and dreaming about a faraway land that I don’t understand. Only two things that make life worth living are my falcon, Fetch, and my best friend, Molly. But when Molly’s plot to land a royal husband at the palace ball goes horribly wrong, I find myself staring at a king with a glass stiletto buried in his chest and a blood-covered Molly standing over him. We’ve got to move…and fast, or we’ll both wind up swinging from the hangman’s noose. Worse? The palace sorcerer is using everything he can to find the culprit including raising the dead. More complicated? Duncan…brother to the King, whose eye I’ve unintentionally caught, a man whose secrets might be deadlier than the undead soldiers breathing down our necks, is making me second-guess everything I’ve ever known. With revolution brewing and a mysterious man calling to me from my dreams, I have no choice but to embrace my fate… But what if my fate is beyond anything I could ever imagine? What if the only land I’ve ever known isn’t home at all? What if I’m trapped inside a fairytale, and the only way out…is through?
