Unbeautiful By

Every story has its grim side…

As the daughter of Cinderella, Willa has long lived in her mother’s shadow of perfection, raised on fairytales from the past. Her longing to find her own place in the kingdom puts her at odds with the schedules and expectations she so carefully lives her life around.

But when she’s kidnapped and Cinderella’s stepmother takes her place in the palace under a magical disguise, Willa is forced to confront what her mother hid in order to survive and trust those the fairytale once told her were her enemies in order to save her family and her kingdom from the evil stepmother’s revenge.

A dark Grimm-esque fantasy about the cost of secrets, Unbeautiful is perfect for lovers of intergenerational, family-oriented stories and fairytale retellings that challenge the status quo.
