The Academy (Perrault Chronicles Book 2)
Page 23
Cendrilla Perrault isn't much of a catch. She’s not elegant, graceful, charming or hospitable and she's stuck in a life of serving her stepsisters and emotionally abusive “mother.” Cendrilla can't wait to come of age and inherit her beloved mansion - and finally make her own choices.
However, Mother has a different plan. After striking up a betrothal with serial wife-killer, Lord Bluebeard, Cendrilla makes a run for her life.
She navigates the United Kingdom of Seven with her new companion, Jack, and encounters the enchantment and danger of magic. With Lord Bluebeard’s henchmen on their heels, they must brave the elements and a myriad of hostile inhabitants to find sanctuary within the capital’s high walls.
Cendrilla is a re-imagination of the classic Cinderella story. It blends fairytales, mythology, and centuries-old folklore into an adventure that turns every damsel-in-distress legend on its head.
