Just Call Her Syndre

Glass slippers don't work for this Cinderella.

When not under the watchful eye of her stepmother, Syndre-Lynn Marcelus is everything a young woman of purity shouldn't be. She's ill-tempered, brazen, opinionated, crass and above all - strikingly, sickeningly honest. Though she's worked to the bone by her late father's last wife she refuses to let the woman grind her to ash.

Finally, after suffering for years under her stepmothers harsh rule Syndre decides to escape, but not before the Royal Ball thrown in High Prince Valor Augustine Octavius's honor. She's forced to attend by law and catches the princes' unwavering attention. Now, with a powerful prince in town and a meddling stepmother she'll have to do the impossible.

Be a lady.
