Ella is a ghost, murdered at sixteen and bound to her father’s house. For years she has raged in silence, unseen by the world except for her cruel stepmother and spiteful stepsisters. Every midnight she is dragged back to the staircase where she died, a haunting trapped in endless repetition.
When a fairy charm-seller offers her three nights of freedom, Ella seizes the chance to be seen, touched, and remembered. For the first time since death claimed her, she can dance. But bargains with fairies always demand a price.
Her story is not the one you think you know. No glass slippers, no happily ever after.
Will three nights of freedom be enough, or will love and vengeance keep her tethered forever?
