The Lunar Chronicles is a tetralogy of young adult fantasy novels written by American author Marissa Meyer. Each book entails a new take on an old fairy tale, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Snow White.

Cinder is the first book in The Lunar Chronicles and second chronologically. It was published on January 3, 2012.
Linh Cinder (based on Cinderella), a cyborg living with her step mother and her two stepsisters, works as a mechanic in a booth at the market place, where she meets Prince Kai, who requests her to fix his personal android. After Cinder's step sister, Peony, comes into contact with the plague, Cinder is forcibly volunteered for cure testing. As a result, a lot of previously unknown things regarding Cinder's origins surface. At the same time, tensions between Earth and Luna, an alien civilization, are rising with Prince Kai in the middle of that and his and Cinder's ever unsure love story.

Scarlet Benoit (based on Little Red Riding Hood) is the granddaughter of Michelle Benoit, a farmer and former military pilot who has suddenly disappeared. On Scarlet's journey to find her grandmother, she works hesitantly with a street fighter named Wolf to find her grandmother. Unfortunately, as Scarlet's trust for Wolf grows, his old lunar gang puts them in unusual circumstances, testing Wolf's loyalties. Deeper connections surface as the gang's malicious intent is finally exposed. Simultaneously, Cinder joins forces with the convict, Carswell Thorne. As the search continues, Scarlet meets Cinder and becomes an ally in her plan to stop Queen Levana and her thaumaturge's tyranny.
