Dragon by Midnight: a Cinderella Retelling

Once upon a time, a curse turned Cinderella into a dragon.

At the stroke of midnight, Cinderella falls to the ballroom floor and twists into a dragon. Hunted by royals, she flees from the castle and hides in the wilderness.

Lost. Alone. Afraid. She needs a hero to save her.

The prince never rescues her. Instead, she’s saved by a dark-eyed sorcerer named Sikandar. He promises to break the dragon curse. Even though she feels like a hideous beast, he sees her beauty.

But Sikandar’s charm hides an ugly past. He’s too afraid, at first, to share his painful secrets with Cinderella. She can’t help falling for him, even though happily ever after might be forever out of reach.

Dragon by Midnight is a young adult fantasy with a sweet, slow-burn romance, perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted and Dealing with Dragons.
