Author Description

A girl with a dream. A prince without magic. A masquerade ball that changes their lives forever. Miraslava has spent her life dreaming of freedom from her family and servitude. Her cruel step mother and step sisters have done everything in their power to make Mira's existence unbearable. But Mira is a planner. She's been taking odd jobs around town, saving up for a portal passage to the human realm-the one place her family can't reach her. When the royal family announces a week-long celebration-with a ball every other night-her friend offers her a job that lands her in the castle. And right into the arms of the crowned prince of Skazka. Luca isn't exactly what Mira has pictured, with his mischievous eyes and a kind smile, keeping his own secrets. She knows she has no time to dream about unattainable boys, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to remember to stay away. But fate-and magic-have other plans. A little makeover, a dance beneath the Skazka stars, and a giant turquoise cat throw Mira down a path she never could've imagined. With her cruel family watching her every move, and a gorgeous prince trying to steal her heart, is it any surprise Mira loses a shoe? And when the clock strikes midnight, Mira might lose more than that-she might lose her heart. The Golden Slipper is a retelling of the traditional Russian Cinderella fairytale. Set in the world of Skazka, this complete stand-alone novel is full of slow-burn romance, banter, strong friendships, and heart!
