The stories your mother told you were lies.
---
What once was a beautiful story-a perfect prince, a beautiful but miserable girl saved from her misery with the help of glass slippers-is that what really happened?
Find out in this part of the Twisted Tales series.
Because fairy tales are not what they seem. The villain is not always the one in the shadows. Sometimes, the monster wears a crown. Sometimes, the stepmother is a hero. And sometimes, the glass slipper is not a gift-it is a cage.
Welcome to the truth behind simple children tales. It is darker than you imagined.
