Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Payback's a Witch
This amazing retelling of Cinderella presents varied magics, a new view of old enemies and royal rule, magical enchantment, and battles between oppressors and the conquered. What a breathtaking view!
Tamora Pierce
Thief Liar Lady is not your mother’s Cinderella story! In D. L. Soria’s delightful novel, Cinderella takes charge of her own destiny and lets nothing - not her stepmother nor her stepsisters nor even her charming prince - stand in her way. This is a most satisfying read!
Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches
Full of intrigue and star-crossed romance, Thief Liar Lady takes everyone’s favorite girl in glass slippers and transforms her into a spellbinding heroine of legend. This is a twisty, romantic fantasy that is perfect for fans of Roshani Chokshi and Alix E. Harrow.
Ashley Poston
D. L. Soria casts a spell of intrigue and romance on every page. By turns sharp and sweet, Thief Liar Lady is a lustrous fairy tale treat.

Soria’s novel will grab readers right from the first page with her strong women characters and unexpected twists on a classic tale, as it alternates between the present and past, slowly revealing the real story and the depth of the characters. Fans of Marissa Meyer, Holly Black, and Rebecca Ross will enjoy this read.
Library Journal
Soria reinvents a classic fairytale to address physical, political, social, and economic abuse...Fantasy fans will wish to explore this fascinating revisionist take on what really happens ‘happily ever after'.
Booklist
[A] savvy upending of a classic character...a fun premise replete with espionage and just a touch of magic.
Publisher's Weekly
A standout fairy-tale retelling...and unlike fairy tales, which have clean moral lessons, this book is unafraid of the deep complications and compromises people in positions of real power and influence sometimes have to make in order to do what’s right.
