Description

Once upon a future-time, in a city of steel, concrete, and Magick, a wicked queen trapped a mighty warrior with a curse ...

In the tiny village of Somer, far from the city, Cherie knows nothing of the evil spell. Her home is a safe, Magickal place. The Fae travel freely along its roads, Magickal humans and animals are welcome, and everyone is hidden from the Queen’s sight by Jack Frost, the local ghost, who blurs the Queen’s mirror with snow and ice.

But when Jack’s spell begins to crack, the Queen’s eyes fall on Somer. Nothing will keep her from abducting all of Somer’s Magickals, not even a war with the Fae.

To avert a war, save her village--and herself--Cherie strikes a perilous bargain. Aided only by Jack and her own small Magick, she’ll set off on a quest … If she fails, she’ll lose more than her life.

A retelling of Snow White with Urban Magick, plenty of folklore, and a Princess Charming. Perfect for fans of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver.

    Got to page 133 and couldn’t follow it anymore, maybe just too heavy a read for me.

    The writing was extremely stilted. The plot had hope which is why it received a three star rating.

    Cherie lives with her grandmother, she calls Nnenne (Igbo for grandmother). The town they live in has two sorts of people: Magikals and non-magikal people. Cherie is tasked to solve a mission, and meets atypical powerful ones along the way.

    Dynamic plot lines. Love the out of the box thinking! Well flashed out characters, the book is great for coexistence of all peoples, not just fantasy lands. Thank you.
