Cinderella Is Dead

It's been two centuries since Cinderella met her prince, yet the fairy tale has taken a dark turn. Sophia is all too familiar with the story, having memorized it from a very young age, as every girl is required to recite it daily until the night she attends the royal ball with hopes of being chosen. It's well understood among the girls that the ball grants them just a single opportunity for a better future. Those not selected are destined for a grim fate.

Contrary to the expectations, Sophia has no desire to be picked; she's in love with her best friend, Erin, and despises the notion of being treated like a commodity. When the fateful night at the ball turns disastrous, Sophia makes a desperate escape to save herself. As she flees, she finds refuge in a place long forgotten—Cinderella's tomb. There, she meets an unexpected ally who reveals to her the potential she holds to transform her world.

This riveting reimagining of a beloved classic encourages young women to defy restrictive norms and pursue their aspirations fearlessly.
