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.~

Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh.
"Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned.
Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen.
***************************************************
Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner.
But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games.
No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.
