In reality, she's a mechanic whose social grid ranking guarantees she'll never advance beyond the lowest grunt work, and a slave in all but name to her cruel and self-centered stepmother and stepsisters. The most she can hope for is a few stolen moments of happiness practicing on her sisters' flight simulators, or talking to the mysterious stranger she met on an illicit night of stargazing.When the queen announces a competition to find new pilots for the fleet, El knows this is her chance to escape. But her stepmother will never let her compete-and then she learns that her new friend, the one person she thought she could trust, was hiding a secret that changes everything between them.It's a good thing she has a lot more friends than she thinks she does.Exciting, fast-paced, and hopeful, this science fiction retelling of Cinderella is the first in the Rove City series
