Mirror mirror on the wall who's the most wicked of them all? Snow White's dark queen tells
her side of the story in this queer witchy reimagining of the classic fairy tale from the
author of Malice. Legends tell of a witch who became a queen - the heartless villain in the
story of Snow White. But now the wicked queen is stepping out of Snow White's shadow to become
the heroine of her own legend. Her "once upon a time" began when she was just Ayleth a young
witch living in the forest with her coven practicing their magic in secret and hiding from the
White King's brutal war against witchcraft. Ayleth however faces a war of her own. Her
magical gifts have yet to reveal themselves and as the threat of the Royal Huntsmen
intensifies she fears she will never become the witch her coven needs. To prove herself she
sets out on a perilous quest that sends her to the White Palace a decadent world of drama and
deceit. There she encounters an unlikely figure from her past Jacquetta - the witch who once
held Ayleth's heart - but then betrayed her. As events at the palace escalate Ayleth finds
herself caught in the web of the White King whose dark charisma is as dangerous as the
sinister force that seems to be haunting the palace. With the threat of discovery looming
Ayleth and Jacquetta must set aside the wounds of their past and work together to survive. But
to do this Ayleth must find the strength to transform into someone she never imagined she
could be. A powerful witch the very wickedest of them all.
