She has one job-attend a masqued ball and dance with a handsome prince.What could possibly go wrong? Everything, that's what. After years of submitting to her stepmother's unreasonable demands, Trystan finally has a chance to be free. The promise of a new life, in exchange for her help. Simple, right? After all, the old woman has only asked for one night. One night, one beautiful gown, one dance... and one message to be delivered to a mysterious recipient. It should be easy. Maybe even fun. Especially when she can slip away into the night after the dance, leaving no clue as to her identity. But before she can escape the ball, Trystan makes a shocking discovery that leaves all her hopes in ruins. She will be forced to confront two very different princes-and choose whether to betray her kingdom... or her heart. If she's lucky, maybe she'll even survive to tell about it later. A thrilling, suspenseful retelling of Cinderella, Traitor's Masque is the first book of the Andari Chronicles, a series of interconnected but stand-alone fairy tale retellings that feature strong heroines, romance, mystery, and deeply satisfying happily ever afters.

"<strong>A bit long but good</strong><br/><br/>This story was very interesting and enjoyable. There are many parts I enjoyed and very few I did not. <br/><br/>This is a unique almost real life version of Cinderella. Instead of Cinderella as a poor maid in her own home she is an outcast secluded to only her home. She then becomes a spy for the chance of freedom. Very interesting twist. <br/><br/>Overall the book is quite large. Once you read it you’ll understand but because of the length I had a harder time getting through it. Everything was very detailed and you were told of every little moment without skipping time. While this was needed it did make for a long book. I honestly cant think of how the author could have made it shorter. <br/><br/>The other issue I had with the book was the love angle. I liked how Cinderella and the Prince met before the ball instead of the whole insta love thing. However, the Prince was very confused by his feeling throughout the entire book (understandably so) until the end. At the very end, without any warning, he decides what his feelings are and announces them suddenly. <br/><br/>There were a few other small issue I had with the plot but they were minor, just me being picky. Overall it was a refreshing take on an old story."
