Before Cinderella met her prince.
Before she ever put her foot into that glass slipper...
There was Esmerelda.
A fairy godmother living an isolated life in the mountains until a baby is left on her doorstep and changes everything.
This prequel novel answers fan questions from the novels Cinderella's Dress and Cinderella's Shoes. Since the prequel is filled with spoilers, you may want to read the other two books first, and then come back to this one to read the backstory of how Cinderella's dress and shoes become a legacy.
The Fairy-tale Inheritance series of books can be read in any order. Aside from the Cinderella books, they are all stand-alone novels. But if you'd like a reading order, you can follow this one:
Cinderella's Dress
Cinderella's Shoes
Cinderella's Legacy (novella)
Snow White's Mirror
Beauty's Rose
