Synopsis

The glass slippers might be her dreams come true . . . or her worst nightmare.

High King Alexander rules the Seven Kingdoms of Tallahatchia—a divided nation on the brink of yet another war. When an invitation arrives from the king of Pohatomie, Alex knows it must be a trap, but could it also be his opportunity to unite the kingdoms?

Daemyn Rand has lived a hundred years, served an arrogant prince, fallen in love with a princess, and lost himself somewhere along the way. He has already died for his loyalty. Will standing at the high king's side cost him his last chance to truly live?

Elara Ashen is a lowly, miserable servant. All she wants is to spend even one night in a fancy dress dancing with the high king. When she is offered a pair of glass slippers, it seems that all her dreams have come true.

But dreams have a price, and gifts can be curses in disguise. What will it cost to stop this curse from tearing Tallahatchia apart yet again?

Okay, so first of all... this was THE most unique take on Cinderella I've ever read, I think. No kidding, Cinderella retellings are definitely hard to pull off since there are soooo many of them out there, but Tricia Mingerink truly outdid herself in this second installment in her Beyond the Tales s......more

There are several fairy tale retellings, but few possess the creativity of Midnight’s Curse. Mingerink puts a creative, unique spin on a well-known, well-loved fairy tale to create an intriguing read filled with lovable characters. My favorite MC is Alex. He tries so hard, yet fails so often. I love......more

I just loved this. A very different Cinderella retelling that includes all our favorite characters from the previous book ‘A Dagger’s Sleep’ (read that one first!). This time around Daemyn struggles to embrace his new identity and Alex tries be a better person and a decent friend but everything goes......more
