About this listen
A deliciously gothic story of wishes and curses – a new dark fairy tale set against a Victorian backdrop full of lace and smoke.
Once upon a time Ella had wished for more than her life as a lowly maid.
Now forced to work hard under the unforgiving, lecherous gaze of the man she once called stepfather, Ella’s only refuge is in the books she reads by candlelight, secreted away in the library she isn’t permitted to enter.
One night, among her beloved books of far-off lands, Ella’s wishes are answered. At the stroke of midnight, a fairy godmother makes her an offer that will change her life: seven wishes, hers to make as she pleases. But each wish comes at a price and Ella must decide whether it’s one she’s willing to pay…
A smouldering, terrifying new spin on Cinderella – perfect for fans of Laura Purcell and Erin Morgenstern.

Excellent and gripping
I loved this story as it takes you on a roller coaster of emotions from sadness, pity to horror.
It is an unexpected tale that will stay with you and I both dreaded and couldn't wait for the end.
No spoilers as it is a story you should experience with no expectations and enjoy every single word!
Loved the performance, really lovely voice to listen to, well executed and perfect for this book!

A great twist on classic stories!
A lovely reimagining of a classic fairy tale you know and the traditional Faustus narrative. Leaves you wanting more, both to know what happened before the start of the story and afterwards. A jolly good story.
