You all know the story of Cinderella, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later...
Having triumphantly escaped the clutches of Madam's Boarding House, Halia's life takes an unexpected turn as she rises to stardom. However, the glitz and glamour of her newfound success are overshadowed by a dark undercurrent sweeping through the kingdom.
As people vanish mysteriously, the queen's disappearance sends shockwaves across the realm, plunging it into chaos. Amidst the unraveling of the world around her, Halia discovers an extraordinary facet of her talent – her voice carries not just a melody but a magical power.
Caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty, Halia must navigate this perilous new landscape with the enigmatic Lorenzo, her demon manager, who stirs feelings within her that transcend mere friendship. The once-clear path to success now becomes a treacherous minefield, and Halia grapples with the weight of her newfound abilities and the responsibilities they entail.
In the face of looming danger and the threat of her own life exploding into chaos, Halia must decide whether to trust the magic within her and the feelings she harbors for Lorenzo. Will their bond withstand the storm of adversity, or will Halia be forced to witness the shattering of the life she so painstakingly built? In this spellbinding continuation of the Cinderella retelling, love, magic, and the pursuit of truth collide in a tale where the boundaries between dreams and nightmares blur, and Halia must find the strength to rewrite her destiny once again.

Fantasy has never been so epic!
The second installment of the story starts right where the first one left off. Halia works her last shift at the boardinghouse and moves out. She manages to get a job delivering the post, but discovers that she will have to learn to ride a bicycle if she wants to get her rounds done. She moves into a spare room at Lorenzo's and discovers that he knows about her secret visits to Acacia. She is still sure that there is something going on with Doris looking so much like the missing queen, but what? While trying to save a young boy from being arrested she uses her voice to distract everyone while she helps him get away from Victor and his partner. This will come back to haunt her later. She will also be surprised by her best friend's choice of a partner.There is a big singing competition that Halia is determined to win as it will allow her access to the palace and the king. She hopes to use this to find out what is going on in the kingdom. Bad things have been happening ever since the queen disappeared. Madame's two daughters have entered the contest to get access to the king for their own purposes. They can't actually sing so they have found a way to cheat. All in all, things are really starting to warm up in Arcadia. Can't wait to see how it is all going to sort itself out.I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.
Loved it. Lots of things happening in this book! I am getting more curious with each book to see how everything ties together!!!
This story is a good second book, expanding our understanding of the characters, Halia's power, and the evil increasing in the kingdom. The conclusion leads well into the next book. Strong parallels to the classic Cinderella are unfolding.
This is a story with a completely fresh take on the Cinderella story and a few years after. I absolutely loved it
I believe that Halia' story is my absolute favorite. There is something so endearing about her. She is just so sweet and caring.
