Another rich and dark retelling of classic fairytales from the bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead, this mesmeric counter-story to Snow White finds the clever and courageous heroine preparing to challenge the corrupt Knight terrorising her kingdom.
Bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kalynn Bayron returns to fairytales with a lush, thrilling and original YA Snow White retelling that brings a new and exciting voice to this familiar tale.
Perfect for fans of Cinderella Is Dead. Only the truly desperate – and foolish – seek out the Knight, an ancient monster who twists wishes into curses.
Eve knows this first-hand: one of her mothers was cursed by the Knight and trapped in the body of a songbird. With the unique abilities to communicate with animals and conjure weapons from nature, Eve has trained all her life to defeat him.
With more and more villagers harmed by the Knight's corrupt deals, Eve believes she's finally ready to face him.
But when Queen Regina begins acting strangely – talking to seemingly no one, isolating herself, and lashing out at the slightest provocation – Eve must question if her powers are enough to save her family and her kingdom.
