A dark, morally gray fairy tale retelling.

In a kingdom ruled by shadows, love is the deadliest poison of all.

Princess Snow Ruby is wild and untamed. With her father's throne hanging over her like a noose and a stepmother, Chrisela, whose smile hides a viper's fangs, she flees to the one place she's ever felt free: the forest. 

But Chrisela, the Queen Regent, has plans of her own. A woman who rules through manipulation and lust, she'll stop at nothing to keep her crown.

And when Snow Ruby stumbles upon a love so forbidden it could unravel empires, she becomes the target of a hunt more sinister than any fairy tale.

This is not the story you know.

A tale of obsession and ambition, where a poisoned apple is the least of Snow Ruby's worries. With a nobleman bound by secrets, a love that could destroy them both, she must outwit a queen who plays the game with a deck stacked in her favor.

Will Snow Ruby claim her birthright... or will desire be her downfall?
