To Erin, there’s no hope of outrunning their future. Erin thinks Sophia’s refusal to submit is selfish and dangerous.
But her best friend and first love, Erin, refuses to flee Lillie. So, have a care because where patriarchy holds sway, abuse – physical and emotional – exist.Īs far as sixteen-year-old Sophia Grimmins’s concerned getting her invitation means one only thing. In Cinderella is Dead, debut author Kalynn Bayron, reimagines the world of this classic with a striking sapphic story about a determined young woman willing to risk it all to expose the secrets and lies at the very heart of Cinderella’s mythic ‘happily ever-after’ in order to free a kingdom.Ĭontent Warning: Cinderella is Dead takes care to avoid wallowing in pain or trauma but neither does it flinch from acknowledging that violence goes hand-in-hand with oppressive regimes. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all–and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her stepsisters. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors.
