This is a new retelling of the Cinderella story written from four perspectives: Ella "Cinderella", Prince Wilfred, Queen Agatha, StepMother. This is the complete series, of each ebook which is separately available. Filled with sumptuous descriptions of the lavish wealth of the Royal Family of the fictional Kingdom of Linden, this ebook also shows that at heart they are ordinary people, looking to love and be loved like everyone else.

Ella's Perspective: Cinderella: Princess
Book 1/4
"It is hard for me to describe what I noticed first. Was it the forest of candles blazing magnificently overhead, or was it the crowds and crowds of people? Was it the magnificent garlands of autumnal greenery draped on the walls, or the red and yellow shimmery silk hangings over which they lay, hanging from ceiling to floor? Or perhaps it was not a sight that caught me first – perhaps it was the scent of roses perfuming the air, delicious, yet not overpowering – or aromas that I found even more welcoming – those of delicious freshly cooked meats, wafting through the air...?"
Hello, my name is Ella. After my mother's death, I grew up with my father. However, he then married a woman who was simply awful, and she brought along with her her two dreadful daughters.

Prince Wilfred's Perspective: The Prince Speaks
Book 2/4
She was gone. He had looked all over. But she was gone. Quite gone.

Prince Wilfred impatiently tossed aside the hamper he had hastily packed, scattering exotic fruits, various delicate pastries and succulent pies quite everywhere, and breaking several bottles of gently expensive lemonade, and threw off the footman's tunic, grumbling to himself.

"What a silly idea that disguise was!"

Whose stupid idea was that anyway? Oh yes – his own. Not in the least bit mollified by this, he walked angrily up to a random footman, (a real footman this time), grabbing him by his tunic, and gesticulating wildly in the vague direction of the great Palace doors.

"Find her, damn you!"

Queen Agatha's Perspective: The Queen's Account
Book 3/4

I watched as the young lady entered the small salon.

Well with her waist length gold-flecked brown hair and those large eyes she was certainly pretty. However, while not gaunt outright she was visibly too thin, even for her short height. She walked towards me, and blushing with nervousness, executed a small curtsey. I smiled in a way that I hoped would be encouraging, trying not to look her over too obviously.
She was wearing a dress in a floor-length style that was clearly new to her, as it impeded her steps a little, and she lacked the fluency of someone who was accustomed to dress in that manner. However the sky-blue colour suited her perfectly. I made a mental note to see to a new wardrobe for her as soon as I was sure that she was going to stay for at least a few months.

Stepmother's Perspective: StepMother
Book 4/4

It might be hard for people to believe this, but I sincerely did love my stepdaughter, sweet little Cinderella, as surely as I loved her father! "What a good little maid she would make," I always thought to myself. "What a fitting name for her," I always thought to myself, "Cinderella; how at home she is among the ashes!"
 
I know that people might accuse me of nefarious intent in encouraging her to work for free in my home, however I truly had her best interests at heart. I've even caught some cruel whispers that I was taking advantage of her! However, nothing could be further from the truth! In my concern for her, as any caring stepmother, I wanted to train her for her...
