For fans of Shannon Hale and Gail Carson Levine, comes an
enchanting fairy tale retelling of the Japanese Cinderella, set in
the magical world of Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch. Once upon a
time, Alliana believed in dreams and fairy tales as sweet as
spun-sugar clouds. Alliana wished on shooting stars, sure that
someday she and her grandmother would be able to travel to the
capital city to see the queen. Then her grandmother passed away-and
those dreams disappeared in a disenchanted puff. Now Alliana's
forced to attend to the whims of her wicked stepmother-with long
days of cleaning her stepfamily's inn as her skin burns raw or
staying up until the crack of dawn to embroider her stepsister's
ball gowns. Until she meets two beings who change her life
forever-the first is a young nightdragon who Alliana discovers she
can magically talk to. And the second is Nela, a young witch. Nela
needs Alliana's help navigating the mysterious abyss, filled with
dangerous beasts, a place Alliana knows by heart. Alliana sees
Nela's request as a chance to break free of her stepmother's shadow
and to seize a chance at a life she's barely dared to hope for-but
there's a risk. If caught, Alliana will be stuck working for her
stepmother for the rest of her life. Can Alliana truly make wisps
of dreams into her own, better-than-a-fairy-tale happily ever
after? Inspired by the Japanese Cinderella story and set in the
same world as the Eva Evergreen series, this story can be read as a
standalone.
