The Mystery PrincessA Retelling of Cinderella

Return to the Four Kingdoms #2 / 6
by Melanie Cellier
The Mystery Princess: A Retelling of Cinderella (Return to the Four Kingdoms #2) by Melanie Cellier
Unrated

Daria has spent her whole life caring for others. So when she’s rescued by traveling merchants while fleeing for her life, she’s more than happy to work for them in return for her safety.
But danger follows her, as does Prince Percy. Daria thought she’d left the complications of balls and royalty behind her, but she can’t hide as a servant forever—not when whole kingdoms are in peril. As the threat grows, so do the risks Daria is willing to take. But even as she puts herself in danger, Daria doubts she could ever be enough—for the people who need saving or the prince himself.
In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella, the overworked orphan must face dangers, doubts, and traitors before she can hope to triumph in a ballroom.
If you enjoy clean romance, adventure, and intrigue, then try the books in the Return to the Four Kingdoms series now! These interconnected fairy tale retellings each feature a different heroine who finds herself friendless in a strange land and who must fight to save her new home and win her happily ever after.

Melanie Cellier

Melanie Cellier grew up on a staple diet of books, books and more books. And although she got older, she never stopped loving children’s and young adult novels.
 She always wanted to write one herself, but it took three careers and three different continents before she actually managed it. 


She now feels incredibly fortunate to spend her time writing from her home in Adelaide, Australia where she keeps an eye out for koalas in her backyard. Her staple diet hasn’t changed much, although she’s added choc mint Rooibos tea and Chicken Crimpies to the list.

She writes young adult fantasy including her Spoken Mage series, and her Four Kingdoms and Beyond the Four Kingdoms series which are made up of linked stand-alone stories that retell classic fairy tales. 

Return to the Four Kingdoms

The books of the Return to the Four Kingdom series can be read independently as standalone stories, but are best enjoyed in order.

This is the third series. There are two prequel series, The Four Kingdoms, where it all begins, and Beyond the Four Kingdoms, which features younger characters that are first introduced in The Four Kingdoms. This series, Return to the Four Kingdoms, features characters that were first introduced in Beyond the Four Kingdoms. These series may be read independently of each other, but are best enjoyed in order.
