Cinderella's Pocket-Sized Protector

The tale of Cinderella is one of the most beloved rags-to-riches stories ever told, yet the pages of that fairy tale go silent only a decade after the royal wedding. Behind the glittering facade of the castle, the prince’s betrayal shatters the dream, leaving the once-hopeful maiden abandoned and heartbroken. But while the kingdom turns a blind eye to her fallen queen, one loyal companion refuses to let the story end in tragedy. Elodie, a tiny harvest mouse who has been Cinderella’s most devoted friend through every trial, cannot bear to watch her suffer. Driven by a desperate wish to save the woman she loves, Elodie prays for a miracle—and the universe answers in ways she never imagined. Thrown back in time to the eve of the fateful ball, Elodie is stunned to discover that her prayers have not only reversed the clock but also awakened an extraordinary power within her. No longer confined to the shadows as a small rodent, she now possesses the ability to shapeshift into a human form. Armed with this incredible gift and the knowledge of the grim future that awaits, Elodie steps boldly into the world of princes and palace intrigue. She is determined to do whatever it takes to alter the course of destiny, protect her dearest friend from a future of sorrow, and carve a new path where loyalty and love truly reign. Yet, meddling with fate comes with its own perils, and as Elodie navigates her new identity, she must confront a daunting question: can two souls from completely different worlds rewrite a fairy tale, and in doing so, secure a happily ever after that is truly their own?
