Glass Midnight: A Cinderella Retelling

by Kayla Eshbaugh

Overview

Welcome to the ancient land of Terra, where curses run rampant throughout all the kingdoms and where the royalty desperately attempt to break their curses and claim their own happily ever afters.

Princess Gabriella wasn't cursed at birth like the other royals.
Although not cursed, she feels as if she might as well have been for the threat of the neighboring kingdom of Lune is ever present. This threat of war has forced her into growing up with a unique set of skills. Not only can she amaze with her beauty and grace on the dance floor, but her skill with a blade is unparalleled by any of the knights in her kingdom.

Prince Wesley isn't sure that he'll live to see himself crowned king, as his curse prevents him from being king unless someone loves him for himself and not his crown. His uncle, the regent believes if he wears a mask and keeps his identity a secret he can find a maiden to love him for who he truly is. Hidden all his life from everyone his mask hides more than just his face-he fears that no matter who he meets, or gets close to all they will ever see is the mysterious masked prince-not who he truly is underneath it.

About the Author

Kayla Eshbaugh was born in Redondo Beach, California but was raised in a small city in Northern California called Roseville. Being the daughter of an English teacher and creative writer, creativity and writing are in her blood.

She has been writing since she was young, and she has dozens of notebooks and paper to prove it. In high school, she decided to do her senior research paper on the publishing process and decided to study English in college with the goal of publishing her own books one day.

She has often been told that her own real-life love story sounds a lot like a romance novel. At the age of sixteen, her future husband told her that they would get married someday, and–spoiler alert–they did! Because of her personal experience, she is a firm believer that you can find true and lasting love while still in your teens, which is why she loves writing in the young adult genre.

Kayla currently resides with her husband of fourteen years and their two sons in Pasadena, California. She often shares story ideas with her two sons around the dinner table, writes scene ideas on her phone, types away at her next book in her office, and watches true crime documentaries with her husband, even though she is often afraid of the dark, afterwards. She also reads novels during any spare time she has, even if it is late at night after her kids go to sleep. She loves the beach and gets her best ideas for stories while she is at the beach or when she is camping in her favorite spots.

She loves happily-ever-afters, along with a bit of magic, which is the reason that in her stories, you can be assured to find both!
