Our Review

Ella doesn't need a prince. She just wants to be loved. Everything changed when her father died. Once, Ella was the daughter of a wealthy merchant; now, she's a servant in her own home, with nothing but her clothes and a horse to call her own. Unless she finds a husband first, she has four more years until she is no longer her stepmother's ward. But she has no time to look, and what man would want to marry her, anyway? Certainly not a prince. So why should she attend his ball? Night of Dance is a clean, no-spice retelling of Cinderella. It is part of The Roumaterra Chronicles, a series of interconnected, standalone fairy tale retellings perfect for readers of Brittany Fichter and Annette K. Larsen. Length: 108 pages
