GLASS AND FEATHERS
Wishes are Dangerous
They can bring you a night out, a gown, even a pair of slippers. Or something you never should have wished for in the first place.
After the royal wedding, the girl in the glass slippers has everything she ever wanted: an escape from a life of drudgery, an innate magical gift, and a devoted husband who looks at her like she is the only one in the room. But all wishes come with a price. To the people of the palace, she is an outsider, nothing more. Even her famous shoes cannot help her—the glass slippers no longer fit.
Glass and Feathers is a continuation of the traditional Cinderella tale. It transforms "Happy Ever After" and soars beyond it.
The Enchanted Press
Presents:
In Glass and Feathers, Sloan deftly examines the nature of “happily ever after,” crafting a world in which impulsive wishes wound as deeply as the shards of ill-fitting glass slippers—yet a world that also celebrates the power of fairy tales to heal. A compassionate and worthy successor to traditional Cinderella stories.
—Shveta Thakrar, author of the Andre Norton Nebula Award finalist Star Daughter
