SNEAK PEEKS:
Excerpt from Holly Hook:Iām Ellia, Syndieās ugly stepsister. Mother knows this, so she works Syndie to the bone, but this whole time, sheās been waiting. Planning. Syndie wants us on the streets, and despite my kindness, Iām no exception.
Following her to the Courts lands me in the hands of a handsome guard, Jasper. Literally. And he doesnāt seem to notice my corset or frizzy hair. Nervous and secretive, Jasper wants to stop cruel Prince Calvin from becoming King, which heāll do when he chooses his wife at the royal ball. And now Iām key to a plan that can save my family and the entire Kingdom.
Our weapons? Two magical slippers. One gives false beautyābut only until midnight. Then the other shows the wearerās true nature. If Prince Calvin even holds the hand of his chosen when the clock strikes twelve, the spell hits him, too. Everyone will see the truth and heāll never become King.
He and Syndie deserve each other.
I must make her dreams come true. But Mother, my sister, and a kingdom of jealous girls will do anything to stop Syndie from snagging the Prince. But what terrifies me the most is that trapped slipper. I canāt let Jasper see how ugly I am, but if it all goes wrong, Iāll have to give myself to its magic.
The Kingdom must be saved at all costs, even if I must sacrifice my happily ever after.
