Elena Parker needs help. Her abusive stepfamily have made her a real Cinderella, but they haven't broken her spirit-yet. It's her darkest secret, and one she intends to keep, but when a childhood friend returns, it might not be so easy.
Shattered Glass is the first book in the Fearful Fairytales series, a collection of contemporary fairytale retellings without magic. A contemporary love story filled with characters you love and love to hate, Burning Embers is a darkly unique, modern spin on the classic fairytale that is unafraid to deal with child abuse.
