Elliot is much like Cinderella from one of the most beloved fairy-tales of all time. In this book you will find a big mixture of pretty much any genre you can think of. Elliot is left with a cruel Step father, Charle and two boys. One of them is nice, Kayden, but the other is the Alva and he is just like Charle. Charle killed Elliot's mom with witch craft just after they married, and decided to wait 'til just before Elliot's 18th birthday to kill him so they could use him as a free cleaning/chore service. Elliot discovers, coincidentally , just before he turns 18 that it was Charle's fault and hell breaks lose. Elliot is knocked out and wakes up in a dark room with Charle in a long black robe, when Charle attempts to kill Elliot, something goes wrong and he wakes up 250 years in the future.
