Every culture has its own version of Cinderella, whether it features glass slippers and fairy godmothers, or enchanted trees and magic fish, the love story endures and goodness is always rewarded. But in this story, Ella has been replaced by Elliot and her beloved prince is a princess severely lacking in charm. Elliot's step-father expects him to work from dawn until dusk, leaving him no time to miss the life of happiness and comfort he once knew. When the rest of his family are invited to a series of balls, held in honour of the Princess Charmaine's return from school, Elliot longs for a night off and the opportunity to reconnect with his childhood friend. But his step-father is busy plotting how his own son can win Charmaine's heart and doesn't want Elliot getting in the way. They will soon discover that Charmaine won't be easily charmed. She doesn't need a husband to rule by her side and she's going to use these balls to prove it. That is, until a friend from her past reappears and she discovers that falling in love doesn't have to mean losing control. Princess Charming is a gender-reversal retelling of Cinderella and a companion story to Mirrored Snow.

"What did you say your name was again?" Peter asked with a slight narrow of his eyes. "Hero," she replied with her chin up high as she looked him straight in the eyes. "Hero? But. . .you're a girl - " "Dear Aslan," she rolled her eyes, turning on her heel to walk away from the boy. "Is it short for something?" "Shut up, Peter the Magnificent." ♚ Hero was no damsel in distress, she made that pretty clear when she refused Peter's help. Hero was no princess in disguise, it was rather obvious in the way she spoke informally to the High King. And Hero was definitely no ordinary sweetheart as she swung her sword as though she was born for battle. Hero was a fighter, a leader, a warrior. And the one thing she was extremely good at was getting on Peter Pevensie's nerves.
