SNOW AND POISON

A lush YA fantasy retelling of "Snow White" that proves love is stronger than poison by #1 New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz.

Raven-black hair, red lips, and skin as white as snow - Lady Sophie has led a sheltered life... But that tale ends here.

Duchy of Bavaria, 1621. The palace is abuzz with excitement. The widowed Duke Maximilian is marrying a lady named Claudia, and at last, introducing his daughter Sophie to Bavaria's high society.
At the ball, Sophie charms the dashing Prince Philip, heir to the Spanish throne. But as days pass and Sophie and Philip fall deeply and dangerously in love, the king of Spain orders Philip's return home and his engagement to a princess.

Heartbroken, Sophie finds comfort in Claudia. But might the rumors of her stepmother's dealings with magic be true? And when the threat of war looms over the empire, can a vanished witch be the key to protecting Bavaria?

A new tale begins - one where Sophie must step up, shield her heart, and save her home.
