Publisher Description
A dutiful daughter. A prince forced to find a bride. If the shoe fits...
Once upon a time...
When the Emperor's army comes recruiting, Mai signs up, seeing it as the perfect escape from her stepmother and a lifetime of drudgery. Armed with her mother's armour and a pair of magic shoes, Mai marches off to war...only to find herself sharing a tent with the General's arrogant nephew, Prince Yi.
The best swordsman in the Empire, Prince Yi wants to make war, not love, but the Emperor insists this will be Yi's last campaign before he must marry. Prince Yi has never met his match...until now.
Can one woman win the war and the prince's heart?

Customer Reviews
Cinderella as never imagined
Since childhood I have been a fan of fairy tales and treasure my copy of Grimm’ Fairy Tales, with illustrations by Arthur Rackham, and The Stories of Hans Christian Anderson, with illustrations by Edmund Dulac. Now Demelza Carlton has danced into my life with her enchanting reworking of those favoured tales. Dance is the tale of Cinderella as one never imagined; Demelza Carlton’s words wove a magical thread as I eagerly turned the pages and fell into a medieval China of bound feet and the art of the Dance of Combat. Beautifully and imaginatively written I look forward to reading more by this author.
