Princess of MirrorsCinderella Retold

Fairy Tale Adventures #5 / 5
by A. G. Marshall
Princess of Mirrors: Cinderella Retold (Fairy Tale Adventures #5) by A. G. Marshall
Unrated

She guards mirrors. He guards goats. Both guard secrets.

In the mountains of Aeonia, Bri works as a servant in her own home to fulfill her father’s dying wish: guard the mirrors. Managing secret magic and a resentful stepfamily is hard enough, but things get much worse when a goblin attacks and a legendary warrior comes to life. Bri’s father warned her about the Society of Evangelina. Surely the woman herself is much more dangerous? But how can Bri fight a shadow warrior or goblin when she can’t even control the donkey that keeps appearing in her mirror?

In the castle, Prince Henry struggles with his royal duties and longs to return to his old life as a goat herder. But the appearance of Evangelina Shadow-Storm, conflict within her Society, and magical attacks both home and abroad make his dream of returning to the mountain increasingly impossible. Henry must first help Lina conquer an enemy that lives in the shadows, but that enemy seems determined to hide. Have they truly defeated the goblin threat? Or are the dark creatures simply biding their time and gathering strength for another attack?

While Henry works with Lina, Bri searches for a way to stop her. A royal ball provides the perfect opportunity for Bri to gather information, but what will she do when she discovers that the charming goat herder she met on the mountains is working with her enemy?

Discover magic, intrigue, and romance in Princess of Mirrors, a retelling of Cinderella. The fifth book in A.G. Marshall’s Fairy Tale Adventure series is filled with the answers you have been waiting for as well as new mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall

A. G. Marshall writes the kind of fantasy that remembers why fairy tales have endured for centuries. Her stories are filled with enchanted forests, hidden kingdoms, clever heroines, and unexpected twists on familiar legends, yet they never feel trapped by tradition. Instead, they explore what happens when beloved tales are viewed from a new angle, allowing old magic to reveal something entirely different.

Long before becoming a published author, Marshall was the child who could always be found in a library, wandering through shelves in search of new worlds. Stories became a constant companion, and writing soon followed. What began as a love of reading gradually evolved into a passion for creating her own adventures, inspired by folklore, fantasy, and the timeless appeal of characters who must discover their own strength.

That lifelong fascination with storytelling eventually found its way into a growing collection of fantasy novels and fairy tale retellings. Her work is particularly known for reimagining classic stories while preserving the sense of wonder that made them memorable in the first place. Whether drawing inspiration from princess legends, magical curses, or forgotten folklore, she approaches familiar material with creativity, humor, and a clear affection for the source traditions.

Outside of writing, Marshall has worked as a piano teacher and professional musician, a background that quietly influences her fiction. Much like music, her stories rely on rhythm, pacing, and emotional resonance. Moments of adventure are balanced by quieter scenes of character growth, creating narratives that feel inviting rather than overwhelming.

Across her books, certain themes appear again and again: courage that emerges from unlikely places, the importance of kindness, the value of self-discovery, and the belief that heroes do not need to fit traditional molds. Her protagonists are often resourceful young women who solve problems through determination and intelligence rather than brute force, making her fantasy particularly appealing to readers who enjoy character-driven adventures.

Today, A. G. Marshall has built a loyal readership among fans of clean fantasy, fairy tale retellings, young adult fantasy romance, and imaginative world-building. Her novels offer an escape into magical realms filled with wit, adventure, and heart, while reminding readers that even the oldest stories can still hold new surprises.
