Publisher's summary

Part 1 of the 2-part "Skulduggery." Fabletown's own cloak-and-dagger expert Cinderella is back in action! This time she's on a secret assignment down south — way down south — doing a nasty little job to pay off a debt she owes to Frau Totenkinder. All she needs to do is find a small package and deliver it to Fabletown. Unfortunately, the forces of the Empire are after the same prize and they've hauled out the guns and bombs to make sure they're the only ones who succeed.

Plot

Cinderella arrives in Ushiaia to get a special package. However the men who were supposed to be taking her there try to kidnap her, forcing her to kill them except one for later. Prince Charming steps down as Mayor, giving it to King Cole. King Cole then makes Beauty deputy major again. The special package turns out to be Pinocchio. Cindy kills all the men even the one that looked like he was surrendering. They also get back Pinocchio's gold and leave. Cinderella returns to see that Pinocchio has been taken hostage by Hansel who demand to know when Fabletown began the war with the Empire. Cinderella laughs and says that it's already started.
