Before Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters moved into Lancastyr Manor, Cinderella was known as the Lady Rose de Lancastyr.
Then her stepmother forced her to become a kitchen maid and renamed her.
At first the rats of the manor figure Cinderella for a lack-wit and take pity on her by bringing her food and a special family heirloom.
But when Cinderella's stepmother finds a way to prevent her from attending the ball, the rats join forces to help her.
The night of the ball is filled with magic and secrets--not least of all who Lady Rose will choose to be her Prince Charming.
