Fae & Firstborns

How to Marry a Winged King – Preorder Bonus

I originally wrote this story for a fairytale anthology under a strict wordcount constraint. For this re-edited and re-released version, I let it breathe a bit more, bringing scenes on-page that had to be truncated or only alluded to in the original, which ended up making it about twice as long (about 20k words total)! I consider this one the ‘true’ version as a result.

For New Version, I have New Cover! This amazingly beautiful art is by the talented Amira Naval.

What if Cinderella’s step-family were fae?
As a lowly human, Cinders has never been good enough for her noble fae family–but she can’t escape them. Every dawn, the magic binding her to their manor calls her back. 
When the fae king announces he’ll choose a bride at the Thrice-Held Ball, Cinders is of course forbidden to attend. Even if the dancing doesn’t go past dawn, her family would never allow her to be seen with them.


But after she receives a pair of enchanted shoes that alter her appearance, she can’t resist the chance to become someone else for a night. She’ll dance in disguise for the three nights of the ball and enjoy her small stolen freedom.


She never expected to catch the fae king’s eye, or for her act of rebellion to turn into something far more dangerous. Everyone wants to know who the mysterious masked lady is, and they won’t rest until they find out. King Tāwhiri sees her as no one ever has before, but how can she trust it’s more than just enchantment at work? Can she make it home by dawn?  And does she even want to marry a winged king, anyway?

So, how do you get your hands on this novella? Because I know a lot of my fans have already read the original version, I am offering this new edition as a pre-order reward for my novel set in the same world, How to Find a Nameless Fae. Fill out this form with proof of your pre-order, and you can get Winged King for free.
