The Severed Realms - 3: A Bond of Broken Glass

Meer over het boek

The shoe fits, but she's no Cinderella. Ellie has clear goals: open a glassblowing shop, see her father retire, and marry for love—none of which includes winning a fae prince's heart. So when Prince Evander hosts a ball to find a human bride, Ellie declines the invitation. She finds it amusing when the next day’s paper reveals the prince danced with a mysterious woman who vanished at midnight, leaving behind a glass slipper—Ellie’s glass slipper, no less, from her missing workshop set. When Evander decides to use the slipper to identify his true love, Ellie steps forward to claim it. Unbeknownst to her, the slipper has been altered with a fae bargain, and when she tries it on, she becomes magically betrothed to the prince she despises. Evander, too, is far from pleased, having believed the shoe would only fit Cinderella. Together, they must navigate the challenges of breaking the fae bond while facing the dangers that arise, including the risk of falling for someone whose heart belongs to another. This humorous tale blends witty banter with the politics of Alondria, offering a fresh twist on the classic Cinderella story. It’s the third in a series of interconnected standalones, featuring familiar faces along the journey.
