Not all fairytale princesses are as sweet and innocent as the stories make them out to be. Secrets, darkness. Both take their root in hearts that waver and are unsure of their destinies. Just because someone is born from good people doesn't mean they are pure of all sin.
Estelle, the daughter of Ella and Henri from the famous "Cinderella" tale, grew up afraid. Not afraid of the outside world, as the palace was always very protected. No, she was afraid of herself and the darkness she saw when she looked in the mirror. But the fear only feeds the darkness, and soon she finds herself with powers she doesn't even know why she has, let alone how to control them.
But, as Stella tries to unravel what she's becoming with the help of her closest friends in the secret club they created years ago, The Damsel Society, she's tossed into a whole new world of danger, one she never expected to get lost in.
Sometimes, wars are much bigger that between kingdoms. Good versus Evil is a battle that fights in each of us. Only we can choose which side wins, in the end.
But if she is the only one able to make the decision, who are the voices Stella hears every time her powers are released?
