A fantasy world where every year, girls from around the kingdom where Cinderella lived and died 200 years ago are summoned to the palace to be "chosen" to a life where they are subject to the men (and the abuse and loss of everything) they marry.

But this story is about Sophia who doesn't want to marry any man (she's in love with her friend Erin) 

who ends up fleeing and running into a descendant of Cinderella, Constance. They are going to find a way to kill the king and change the way their lives are ruled. She will come to find the King weilds a dark magic.

I like the adventurous and courageous souls of both Constance and Sophia. I liked the quest to overthrow this horrible patriarchy they are subject to.
