Deliciously dark
Woman Magazine
Once upon a time Ella had wished for more than her life as a lowly maid.

Now forced to work hard under the unforgiving, lecherous gaze of the man she once called stepfather, Ellas only refuge is in the books she reads by candlelight, secreted away in the library she isnt permitted to enter.

One night, among her beloved books of far-off lands, Ellas wishes are answered. At the stroke of midnight, a fairy godmother makes her an offer that will change her life: seven wishes, hers to make as she pleases. But each wish comes at a price and Ella must decide whether its one shes willing to pay

A smouldering, terrifying new spin on Cinderella perfect for fans of Laura Purcell and Erin Morgenstern.

Author Bio

JJA Harwood is an author, editor and blogger. She grew up in Norfolk, read History at the University of Warwick and eventually found her way to London, which is still something of a shock for somebody used to so many fields. When not writing, she can be found learning languages, cooking with more enthusiasm than skill, wandering off into clearly haunted houses and making friends with stray cats. THE SHADOW IN THE GLASS is her debut novel.
