A VERY bloody Cinderella re-telling.
Tefra is known as the kingdom crazy lady, that may or may not be because after her father, Captiain of the royal guard, died in battle, and she wore his ashes on her for head for a month. And then murdered someone and bared him in ash...
Ok so, maybe it was that second option?It wasn't her fault, he was asking for it! Anyway, she was sent to Fae Asylum were she met her true love! Ya, he dies... murdered by the prince himself. But in his defense he is in love with Tefra, and lets just say she doesn't feel the same way. Now Tefra is on a path for revenge
Her plan?
Step 1. Escape Fae Asylum
Step 2. Get/Make a witch disguise her face
Step 3. Go to the upcoming ball with said face
Step 4. Murder the prince and get sweet, sweet revenge!
Step 5. Well... she hasn't gotten that far yet.
What she wasn't expecting? The prince falling in love with this new girl! WHAT! How dare he! She hated him, but still, it's nice to be admired!
Maybe it's easier to kill him from the Asylum? WRONG! He is more guarded than ever at the castle, and even worse? She has a guard herself, he never leaves her side!
Next thing she knows, she is thrown into a world of mystery lies, and blood. So much blood.
What will happen when the fate of the world is thrown into Tefras' hands?
