Cinderella has spent years chasing ghosts.
Her magic was taken. Her daughter was stolen. And the war consuming Europe shows no sign of ending. With Napoleon’s empire pressing toward total domination and the world unraveling under blood and fire, Ella’s only hope lies in the one man she swore she would never trust again—the elusive and dangerous Silver Fox.
To reclaim her witch power and find her daughter, Ella must strike a bargain that could destroy what remains of her identity. The Silver Fox holds the keys to forbidden magic and buried truths, but every secret comes with a price. And this time, failure is not an option.
As the conflict pushes toward its final battleground in frozen Russia, alliances fracture, loyalties blur, and destiny closes in. Ella must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to save her daughter—and whether the magic she once feared may become the weapon that reshapes history itself.
Love, vengeance, and destiny collide as Ella faces the ultimate choice: reclaim the power that defines her… or lose everything she has fought to protect.
Found delivers the explosive continuation of the Cinderella legend reimagined as sweeping historical fantasy—where hidden magic, dangerous bargains, and emotional consequence drive every page.
Perfect for readers who enjoy fairy-tale retellings, clean fantasy adventure, powerful heroines, slow-burn tension, and richly imagined historical worlds.
