THE CITY OF CINDERELLA

In the City of Cinderella, everyone knows their destiny.

Every year, the kingdom celebrates the Choosing Ball, a grand tradition where every unmarried woman creates a single, perfect shoe that represents her identity. At midnight, thousands of slippers are placed before the court, and the eligible men of the city must choose one.

The rule is simple:

Choose a shoe, and marry its owner.

Refuse, and be cast out from society.

For generations, the people of Cinderella have believed that the slipper reveals true love. But Isabella Cinderhall does not believe that a piece of glass can decide her heart or her future.

When Isa discovers a forgotten fairy tale hidden away in her grandmother's attic, she learns the truth, the story of Cinderella was never about a shoe choosing a bride. It was about two people who found each other by choice.

Now Isa begins questioning everything her city has taught her about love, destiny, and happily ever after.

She finds an unlikely ally in Julian Glass, the royal shoemaker who has crafted thousands of Choosing Ball slippers. To the city, he creates symbols of romance. To him, they are reminders of a broken system. After years of watching strangers become bound by a single shoe, Julian knows one truth

A slipper can measure a foot, but it can never measure a person's heart.

Together, Isa and Julian begin uncovering the secrets behind the Choosing Ball and the forgotten history of their city.

Mateo Ashcroft, a nobleman expected to participate in the Choosing Ball, refuses to follow tradition. He cannot promise his life to someone whose shoe he has never seen and whose heart he does not know. Torn between his family's expectations and his own beliefs, Mateo joins Isa and Julian in challenging the system that raised them.

As the Choosing Ball approaches, Isa must decide whether to accept the fate written for her or risk everything.

Because in a world where fairy tales have become laws...

Someone must remember the truth
