YA
Orphan charmer Ellie seeks escape from the wrath of her "Strepmother" in this twisted spin on the Cinderella fairy tale. Fey slippers are paired with charms and Minotaurs as St. Crow constructs an elaborate and dark world. Convoluted at times and thick to get through, this book will appeal to more die-hard fantasy readers.
