Description
IN THE FOREST OF GOOD AND EVIL,
STRENGTH IS WEAKNESS AND
WEAKNESS IS STRENGH.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO THE SLIPPER FITS.
Princess Ashleigh Charmaine-Anskelisa is the Glass Princess, ready to shatter with a whisper of wind. Born with a weak heart, the vulnerable beauty has no magical ability...or does she?
Something strange is happening to Ashleigh. Blackouts. Evil whispers. Immunity to fire. Turns out, she's fated to play the part of Cinderella-but this time, the tale is twisted. The royal she's supposed to enchant is the ruthless Saxon, a reincarnation of the realm's most savage ruler...and he thinks Ashleigh is a reincarnation of his greatest enemy. He's even fighting in a tournament to wed her stepsister.
As the stroke of midnight looms, will Ashleigh become the queen she's prophesied to be, or lose everything she's come to love?

Reviews
"Showalter (the Everlife books) delivers an entertaining series opener that condemns prejudice while championing self-determination. Romance-sweet and steamy, gay and straight-features prominently, action and humor abound, and the mystery of how each character figures into the legend imparts intrigue."-Publishers Weekly on The Evil Queen
"The novel's conceit has a lot of potential with its deconstruction of a cherished fairy tale, an interesting take on good and evil as actions rather than fate, and a long cast of characters in ever evolving roles that will leave readers wondering who they are supposed to be."-Kirkus Reviews on The Evil Queen
