Ember: A dark retelling of Cinderella
Everyone loves Prince Charming. They have to—he’s cursed. Every man must respect him. Every woman must desire him. One look, and all is lost.
Ember would rather carve out a piece of her soul than be enslaved by passions not her own. She turns to the dark arts to save her heart and becomes the one woman in the kingdom able to resist the Prince’s Charm.
Poor girl. If Ember had spent less time studying magic and more time studying human nature, she might have guessed that a man who gets everything and everyone he wants will come to want the one woman he cannot have.
Charm is a Curse. Love is a Fire. This story is no fairytale...

One of the more interesting takes on an old fairy tale - not written in a manner unforgettable, but certainly written well. This is well worth the read if only for the idea behind it. Don't get me wrong, however, the writing is far from bad and Bettie Sharpe has managed to weave a fascinating and captivating little tale. My only complaint is that it is too sort. I say again; well worth the read.
