Witches are burning in Gierstamm and Adra holds the lighter.
When Adra was eleven, she escaped from the forests of the Hazels into the smog-ridden nation of Gierstamm; two nations an ocean away, both preparing for potential war.
Now sixteen, Adra is Aschenputtel–a lethal agent who interrogates and incinerates witches conspiring to break the Cold War. The missions are never-ending, and ever since the borders closed and the prince went missing, tensions have never been higher. Despite it all, Adra was desperate for redemption rather than the burden of a war child.
However, when Adra goes on a mission to burn a package, her world collapses when she finds a boy in the box:
The missing prince of Gierstamm himself.
As lies unravel and plans unveil, they must reach the king before the Festival of Good Faith ends. Otherwise, war wasn’t just a threat–
It was a promise.
Foul Lady Fortune meets Arcane in this dark, gritty steampunk retelling of Cinderella.

The design is simple but so complex with little details that I keep resurfacing every time I look back at the pictures. The book themes are so, absolutely adorable, I don’t know what to do with myself! I’m a huge fan of Julianne (hehe that rhymes), and I definitely see myself buying this product in the near future (because I am broke as of currently 🥲). This website has so much thought put into it, and so many small details, I’m so happy to be here before Julianne becomes one of the most famous authors ever ♥️
If you see this; you are amazing, you are loved, and you should totally get these products that she has for purchase 😉
