"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking. But she's completely unprepared for the acidic truth that melts away the tar, demolishing her shell, and awakening the Emma White buried deep inside. --- Book 1 in The Dismantled Pride series *Story was previously titled "Faking It"

FCRAs Runner-Up! Take a step back from the Snow White tale you know. Step back to get a better look. Skin pale as snow. Hair black as ebony. Lips red as blood. What does that sound like to you, dear reader? A creature of the dark. One that lives in the shadows, that cowers at the bright glow of the sun, that lives on the blood of others. She's manipulative, or she's magic, for no one seems to see the harm she does. Only the sweet, innocent facade that she puts up. When I married her father, that's all I saw as well. But on his death bed, he made me promise to end her because he never could. I promised him. I failed. • • • As the young Queen Maris is left to rule the icy kingdom her husband left her, dreams of the summer wind in her heart, she's left with the shocking dilemma the king has given her as his dying wish. To kill his only daughter, the beloved and fair Snow White. Maris isn't a killer, but as her rule progresses, she alone begins to see the princess for what she truly is, a bloodthirsty creature that could end up destroying the kingdom of Krithane In an attempt to save the life of a dear friend, Maris hires a Huntsman from the West to take Snow away and kill her. But when Beck comes back empty handed, Maris is left with only one choice. She has to be the one to kill Snow White. With Beck at her side, Maris sets out to rid Krithane of the icy grip that Snow has on it. But how can she defeat her when so many others have failed? Only with more power than Snow can she ever hope to best her, but the only thing that can give her that kind of power is even darker than the creature she's fighting. ----- Thanks to @seventhstar for that gorgeous cover!!!
