Ella's Masquerade Lexi C Foss

Once upon a time, a handsome prince asked the academy wallflower to the ball. She was blinded by the stars in her own eyes and the pitter-patter of her lonely heart. Little did she know this prince was no prince at all, but a villain disguised behind a charming smile.

Ella

There are no such things as fairy tales or happily ever afters. Not in my world. My reality is riddled with pain and loss and immense hatred.


Until him.


Trayton Nacht, the new transfer student at Darlington Academy.


Something about his darkness calls to me. The way his eyes glimmer in the night and the cruelty of his handsome smile. With a single glance, he turned my world inside out. And now I can't get enough.


But what if he's just like the rest of them?


What if this is all just another masquerade?


Tray

She stole my heart, once upon a time. Three years ago in an alley where she left me with a pair of sodden blue slippers. Her life had been mine for the taking, until I discovered the fae magic lurking beneath her skin. Now it's time to recruit her, to take her to her fate.


But first, we'll play a little game.


One that will end in destruction.


Because f*ck fairy godmothers.


What Ella needs is a Dark Fae. One who can help her burn Darlington Academy to the ground. A Dark Fae like me.


Author Note: This is a dark Cinderella retelling with strong bully elements. This M/F PNR features a happily ever after ending and is also the prequel to the Midnight Fae Academy Why Choose Trilogy. Tray and Ella are important characters throughout the series.
