They say a broken mirror earns seven years of misfortune; It's too bad that the Ice Queen's looking glass was laced with magic. Talia's mother was an admirable ruler and parent, up until her mirror was shattered. After being poisoned by a shard, her empire in the Glass Crest has been nothing but a frostbitten hell. Talia, known as Princess Snow White, has been sentenced to death by her own mother, but then spared by the executioner. Now, on an irrational revenge mission to get the throne, Talia will need to win over the people to her side. Unfortunately, their hearts have already been stolen by revolutionists who would love to see Talia dead just as much as her mother. Talia realizes she'll need allies, and her recruits are nothing short of bizarre: A little red hood, a band of stubborn rebels, and maybe even the devils that started it all. One things for sure: Distractions and attachments will only slow her down, but her newfound friends are making this more difficult than it has to be, especially a particular rebel by her side. ~A twist on your beloved fairytale characters.~ *ON HOLD* *Always editing whenever I can.* ••• The Fabled is copyrighted.
