Once Upon A Tempest: A Cinderella Retelling

Award-winning author Denise D. Young returns to bewitch readers with her signature blend of alluring characters and otherworldly magic.

Every young woman in the Vale requires three things. One, a dress for the ball. Two, a mother—or mother figure—willing or able to acquire said dress. Three, a dance with Prince Ever, the Vale’s most eligible bachelor.

Orphaned and alone, Lyse possesses none of these—just a cruel stepmother, a garden filled with lavender and lemon balm, a deck of tarot cards, and a cursed magic she must never share.

Twirling ballgowns, wicked stepmothers, and hidden plots swirl in this captivating fairytale novella from a spellbindingly masterful storyteller.
