Bloomsbury presents Sleep Like Death by Kalynn Bayron, read by Hewot Tedla.

Cinderella is dead, but Snow White fights on ...

New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kalynn Bayron makes her highly anticipated return to the fairytale realm of Cinderella is Dead with this thrilling twist on the classic story of Snow White.

Princess Eve was raised with one purpose: to destroy the Knight, an evil sorcerer who terrorises Queen’s Bridge with his wicked magic. Far too many of her subjects have been devastated by the Knight’s trickery but Eve’s own unique magic – the ability to conjure weapons from nature – makes her a worthy adversary.

As she approaches her seventeenth birthday, Eve is ready to battle. But her mother, Queen Regina, has been acting bizarrely, talking to a strange mirror alone every night. Then a young man claiming to be the Knight’s messenger appears and shares a shocking truth about Eve’s past. Unsure of who to trust or what to do next, Eve must find the courage to fight. But will it be enough to save her family and her queendom? Black Creators LGBTQ+ Literature & Fiction Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy Royalty

Critic reviews

[Kalynn] has a way of drawing you in to the fantasy world of her creation and you just have to keep reading
Kalynn Bayron does more than rewrite a fairy-tale … She breaks it apart and rebuilds it into a wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after
Challenges patriarchy with kick-butt heroines and a counter-story that will forever change how readers perceive fairytales
Mesmerising and beautiful
The book centres Black characters, and its prose sings. This Wicked Fate is a delightful novel about literal Black Girl Magic, found family and queer love, with adventures and a satisfying twist on Greek mythology
