Alyce (The Valley Stories #1)

Alyce Lomlossa has never dreamed of visiting King Timson. To a member of a minority group that opposes his rule, his brooding, glum palace is associated only with imprisonment and death. Though it's been a long time since any Sherban was arrested, Alyce feels little in common with her ruler and is quite content to stay unnoticed.

Until a mandatory summons to the King's court dance leaves her no choice.

A 20,000 word novella that enlarges the story of Cinderella.
