Lips as red as a rose, hair as black as night, skin as white as snow. The legend of Snow White is the most well-known of all fairy tales. But take a look at that sentence. The most famous in all fairy tales. To be honest, if Snow White really looked like that, she'd look like a vampire. In a world where magic and machines collide, Snow White is not who she seems. In 501 V.E., Adena is the sister of the crown princess of Japan, Eirwyn. Always the prettier sibling, Eirwyn was the favorite of all guards and of the king. Adena is a vampire hunter. But her sister, Eirwyn, is a vampire. An evil one. Adena must hunt and kill her sister, to save the Imperial Kingdom of Japan. A retelling of Snow White. But this one has no happy ending. Snow White is bloodthirsty. The "Evil Queen" is helping us. And the forgotten sister just might be the one to save them all.
