Description
An apple can represent many things: wisdom, knowledge, love, death, and most of all -- temptation. *** Gwyneira of Tacevalon used to have spirit. She was a strong-willed princess who was unafraid to speak her mind, but a terrible accident took everything from her -- including her mother. Since then, she'd grown ashamed of herself and ceased all public appearances, only venturing through the kingdom in disguise. As most kings do, her father remarried to a woman more beautiful than his deceased wife. Unbeknownst to all, Queen Callista possesses an enchanted mirror that continues to influence her vanity each day. To her, appearances are everything, though her own daughter, Nyssa, tends to disagree. No one could compare to the Queen's beauty -- until a visiting prince shows affection toward her stepdaughter. As Gwyneira's confidence grows, Callista's envy starts to boil over. And when the princess usurps her title as the Fairest of Us All, the Queen snaps. Forced to go on the run, Gwyneira finds refuge with the Hidden Folk, shapeshifting guardians of nature. But she soon realises that as long as she breathes air, her stepmother will not rest until she's dead. A SNOW WHITE RETELLING BOOK ONE OF MISTHAVEN
