CINDERELLA,NECROMANCER is CHIME meets ANNA, DRESSED IN BLOOD and was inspired by a real medieval grimoire of necromancy from 15th-century Germany.
Ellison lost her mother at an early age. But since then, her father has found love again. He’s
happy and doesn’t quite notice that Ellison does not get along with his new wife or her mean
daughters.
daughters.
When Ellison discovers a necromantic tome while traveling the secret passages of her father’s
mansion, she wonders if it could be the key to her freedom.
Until then, she must master her dark new power, even as her stepmother makes her a servant
in her own home. And when her younger brother falls incurably ill, Ellison will do anything to
ease his pain, including falling prey to her stepmother and stepsisters’ every whim and fancy.
Stumbling into a chance meeting of Prince William during a secret visit to her mother’s grave
feels like a trick of fate when her stepmother refuses to allow Ellison to attend a palace festival.
But what if Ellison could see the kind and handsome prince once more? What if she could
attend the festival? What if she could have everything she ever wanted and deserved by
conjuring spirits to take revenge on her cruel stepmother?
As Ellison’s power grows, she loses control over the evil spirits meant to do her bidding. And as
they begin to exert their own power over Ellison, she will have to decide whether it is she or her
stepmother who is the true monster.

Excerpt
My father was right.
We needed to run.“What is it?” is all I managed to breathe.
“This is the circle of gluttony and greed,” my father said, taking my hand and pulling me away
from my sisters. This time, I did not resist. “What else could dwell here but the true green-eyed monster
itself?”
Jealousy. We faced the incarnate form of jealousy made manifest by my stepsisters. They envied
my ability to walk upon the earth, and they envied the power they thought could be gained by aligning themselves with mortal royalty. Victoria had, after all, tried to marry William.
“Let’s go,” I whispered. “I cannot fight this. I don’t know how.” The monster roared again, and I
turned to flee—but in that moment, Hund launched himself toward the beast. “Hund! No!” I nearly
pulled out of my father’s grasp. “Come back!”
“He’ll be fine,” my father said. “Watch.”
And I did, for as my canine companion leapt, he began to grow. And grow, and grow, new heads
bursting from the sides of his neck, jaws widening until three mouths filled with sword-sharp teeth
snarled before the heinous Jealousy. Hund’s fangs dripped yellow venom, and the claws on his
enormous paws were at least as long as my brother was tall.
This was not Hund at all, this spirit I thought I had called to do my bidding. No, Charon had
spoken the truth when he’d said I had tamed a guardian, though I had not fully understood. This
monstrous ally, this hound who trotted by my side and risked his own body for my protection, I knew by his three heads. This was none other than Cerberus, the hound of Hades, guardian of the underworld. And he had chosen to protect me.
