About this book
Cinder & the Prince of Midnight When an orphan girl is sold as prey for a brutal hunt in a dark kingdom ruled by shadow and cruelty, she discovers she's far more dangerous—and far more valuable—than anyone realized. Enter the Prince of Midnight, a royal caught between his father's twisted legacy and his own awakening conscience, who finds himself unexpectedly ensnared by this extraordinary girl. As a secret fairy war rages beneath the surface of their world, Cinder and the prince must navigate forbidden attraction, shadowy politics, and the question of who really holds power in a realm of darkness. This is a thrilling, immersive fairy tale that will leave you breathless and desperate to know what happens next.

Dark, haunting indie-folk meets ethereal fae magic. Think Hozier's brooding depth, Florence + The Machine's haunted intensity, and Phoebe Bridgers' melancholic beauty. Gothic yet tender—shadows and starlight, forbidden longing, whispered defiance.
