About this ebook
A servant seeking freedom.
A princess seeking to find love and not just a prince.
A gender-bent retelling of Cinderella.
Ashen Beaumont lost everything when his mother died—his noble birthright, his freedom, his future. Now a servant in his own ancestral home, Ash lives under his cruel stepfather's rule, dreaming of a life that will never be his.
Until a mysterious stranger offers him one impossible night of magic.
At the royal ball, transformed into the nobleman he was meant to be, Ash captures the heart of Princess Isolde. For the first time in his life, he feels truly seen. But when the magic unravels before midnight, he flees, leaving behind only a glass slipper.
Isolde is determined to find the man who stole her heart. When she tracks Ash down, she discovers the truth: the slipper isn't a gift. It's a curse. Ash struck a bargain he didn't understand, and now he owes a debt to a powerful fae—one with ties to a dark past and dangerous plans for the kingdom.
The price? Seven years of his life. And Isolde's crown.
Now Ash must choose between the freedom he's always wanted and the love he never expected. And Isolde must decide what she's willing to risk to save them both.
Because some debts can only be paid with sacrifice.
