Once upon a time, there lived a peasant named Arabelle in a land faraway called Varis. Her circumstances were more or less the same with Cinderella, but she's being paid for her services at the house of Lady Lucinda Pervis and her two daughters. She resides in a small shack as her humble abode, and is friends with a smithy named Deek. She also has a rebellious heart and is going to embark on a mission that would either saved the people she's fighting for or would result in her death.

As a tradition, a ball at the Glass Tower is being held for Prince Marius in choosing his next blood concubine. But at the stroke of midnight, thye carriage will leave the palace so Arabelle should be able to capture the Prince attention and stab him to death. And the fight for justice and quest for answers has just begun.

Needing for my vampire fix, I was definitely intrigued when I saw of this. I've been picky mostly because most I've read runs on the same plot. But this book is just so totally different. It's like a tale of Cinderella, but dark and definitely bloody.

Arabelle is just an admirable woman, who only wanted justice an equality. She's intellegent, a little naive, but have that fre to lit up the whole kingdom to fight and sacrifice her life, if need be.

Prince Marius is the youngest unmarried Varis Prince, who has been suffering ennui for a long while now, until he saw the goddess in gold silk. He is unlike his family. He is just and kind.



This book is just everything! The twists are unexpected, the characters' chemistry is on point, and a complete mix of everything without being overwhelming and a great start to a series! This book is a start of something magical, something bloody, something amazing! I can't wait for the next book!
