This book is just adorable! It is a retelling of Cinderella but with a magical twist. There was some foreshadowing that I saw and quickly got what was going to happen only to have a twist that had me not so sure if it was what I thought or not. I had to wait until all was revealed. Very clever Alicia Buck!Lady Ashelandra grew up with only her father. Her mother, a sorceress, died during childbirth. Her father loved Ash deeply and even though he taught her well, she loved adventure and some mischief. When her father died, she was left with her uncle as guardian until she was twenty one years old when it would become hers. Her father warned her that he was not a very kind person but it was definitely an understatement. Her uncle’s children feared him and he despised Ash because she was the daughter of a sorceress and because she owned land that he wanted for his own. He was so cruel to her that he made her a servant. For three years she suffered this as he made her tasks very hard to accomplish.Lady Ash was also a sorceress. She only had her mother’s books as her guide. She practiced hard.Her cousin Jane was very very quiet. When the King held a ball, Lady Ash made arrangements so that she would go for a few minutes and made herself magically look like Lady Jane so she could spend a few minutes at the ball. Unfortunately, she ran into the Prince and he talked and flirted with her, then danced with her. He believed her to be Lady Jane. So, the prince comes to Ash’s home and Ash tries to stay out of the way but runs into the prince several times. He learns she, Ash, is a sorceress but she doesn’t tell him that she is a Lady not a servant as it appears.
