Darkness has come for the fairy tales…
Once Upon a Time…
Dominic never expected much from life-just survival, day by day. But when a violent storm rips through his world, he wakes in a strange land brimming with magic, danger, and characters torn from the pages of childhood tales.
Only, the stories are all wrong.
Fairy tales have fractured. The kingdoms are fading. And a creeping force known only as the Concealment is corrupting the heart of Golponia, unraveling hope, rewriting destinies, and turning beloved legends into nightmares.
Now trapped in this half-remembered world, Dominic discovers he may be the only one who can restore what's been lost. But with darkness rising, allies tested, and the lines between hero and villain blurred, Dominic must ask himself: Can he save the story… or will it consume him, too?
Tears of Cinder contains a loose fairy tale retelling of Cinderella, and features characters from other fairy tale works.
