Poisoned
 
Poisonous mists settled in the lowlands 17 years ago, rendering ninety percent of the land uninhabitable and killing over half the population. Most blame their misfortune on industrialization or the fey, but some curse Snow White, the princess who was born poisoned.

As the only person who can survive entering the poisoned woods without a gas mask, Snow White has dedicated her life to studying the poison and finding a cure. This obsession draws her deeper into the woods and its secrets, where nothing is as it seems. When Snow White saves a man who should never have been saved, she uncovers an evil more destructive than the poison.

MY TEASER: 

I’m in the courtyard of the princess’ tower, I realized. If we’d followed tradition, it would have been my home, but my mother wanted to keep her poisoned daughter near and safe. My father had cared for it since my birth, and was more interested in providing a place for political prisoners than gardens. Then again, maybe that was just an excuse, and he’d always intended for me to end up here…

The Mirror

Snow White vowed to protect the men she saved from the woods. Keeping that vow will be difficult when everyone in the kingdom wants her companions dead. To save them and herself, she will have to trust the terrifying man who shadows Rose. But nothing comes without a price, and neither Rose nor Snow White understand the true cost of the mirror's services until it's too late.

MY TEASER: 

 I’d told him I was poisoned, and he grew as still as a stag that had just realized it was being hunted. Why don’t you run? I wondered as he closed what little distance remained between us, one hand slipping through my hair to the back of my head, and the other wrapping round my wrist to bring my palm to his chest. “Poisoned,” he repeated my words as he tipped up my chin.

The Huntsman
 

When Rose and Snow White are caught in the middle of a political conspiracy, they are separated for their own protection. Snow White fears for Rose's safety. Rose, however, beings to fear herself. Isolated and hunted, Rose must rely on Ambrose's advice to survive. But as her relationship with the enigmatic man deepens, she learns things about her character and desires that should have stayed hidden.


MY TEASER: 

 The chatter from the ballroom dulled. The fountain made no sound, as if it had dried up. Time seemed to slow. Even the rustling leaves fell silent. His heavy eyelids looked like they would shut at any moment, but they didn’t. He just watched me, waiting for me to do something.
