In this breathlessly romantic, whimsically magical Cinderella remix, two young men discover true love amid a tangled web of societal and familial expectations.
Elister Hesta (El) works under the strict rule of his vicious stepmother, cruel stepsister, and chronically unwell stepbrother. Shy and obedient, El doesn't dare dream of a life beyond the Withers Estate. But El has a secret talent he's never shared with anyone: He can talk to animals. And he's about to find out the true extent of the power he holds within, as well as the wonders and dangers surrounding him and his true identity. . .
Prince Anthony Enchanting, heir to the throne of Prosperity, has always had to set aside his free-spirited, artistic endeavors in favour of royal responsibilities. Worse still, he is expected to marry a well-bred lady that his father-and the Court-approves of. During a fateful encounter in an enchanted forest, Anthony meets El, the gentlest, most beautiful man he has ever met and pretty soon sparks start to fly.
So begins a tender romance that the two men must keep secret, each of them longing for freedom and a more tolerant kingdom. Meanwhile, sparks are flying elsewhere. Caught up in El and Anthony's orbit, Prince Anthony's confidant, the cursed Duke Reginald Drake, and El's stepbrother, Sebastian, are navigating an increasingly complicated dynamic. Tensions mount, secrets abound, and El and Anthony must choose to fight for revolutionary love and happiness . . . or risk losing everything they've ever wanted.
