*** SPOILERS ***
Spin off of Cinderella. Girl name Ella is human and lives with her two step sisters (one evil, one kind) and evil step mom who are all Fae. There is a law in this realm where humans can be slaves.
Even though Elle is human, she has the ability to erase people’s memories. She sneaks out at night and takes jobs erasing parts of people’s memories that they ask her to and collects essence as payment. She is trying to save up enough essence to buy a third tier wish (the highest tier) to remove the slave bond her step mother put on her. She always has to be back before midnight when the house automatically locks her in.
A vampire is after her, we don’t know why, but a fae man seems to be very interested in her and saves her from the vampire. He and his two friends try to catch the vampire but don’t succeed. He does save elle though and when she comes too she realizes she won’t make it home by midnight. He makes a blood promise to her that he won’t lie to her so that she trusts him to drive her home. The fae man (Dex) and his two friends offer her essence to act as bait to catch the vampire.
They drop her off at home where there are police waiting because the vampire had tried to get into the house to kidnap Elle. The step mother punishes her by locking her in the cellar for sneaking out. While there she remembers the number dex has given her, and she sends him a text saying she agrees to the deal to act as bait to get essence.
