A New York Times bestselling dark epic fantasy inspired by the tale of
Snow White, from C. J. Redwine, the author of the Defiance series. This
breathtakingly romantic, action-packed fantasy is perfect for fans of A
Court of Thorns and Roses and Cinder.
Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one
mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and
the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon
she and Queen Irina have in common--magic. She'll have to be stronger,
faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress
Ravenspire has ever seen.
In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol's father and older
brother are killed by an invading army of magic-wielding ogres, the
second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his
kingdom. To do that, Kol needs magic of his own--and the only way to get
it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her
personal huntsman--and bring her Lorelai's heart.
But Lorelai is nothing like Kol expected--beautiful, fierce, and
unstoppable--and despite dark magic, Lorelai is drawn in by the
passionate and troubled king. Fighting to stay one step ahead of the
dragon huntsman--who she likes far more than she should--Lorelai does
everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen. But Irina isn't going
down without a fight, and her final move may cost the princess the one
thing she still has left to lose.
