Publisher Description
Enslaved. Hunted. Running out of time.
On the eve of her twenty-first birthday, Crown Princess Winterberry is set to ascend the throne of Canens. But before she can claim her birthright, a ruthless betrayal rips her from the palace. Kidnapped, sold into slavery, and stripped of her name, Winter enters a deadly game of survival-all at the hands of her stepmother, Queen Blanche.
The only thing keeping Winter alive is the Crown's Curse, an ancient prophecy that dooms anyone who spills royal blood. But Queen Blanche is nothing if not determined, and she thinks she's overcome the curse.
Trapped in enemy territory, Winter's only hope lies in an unlikely ally: a rival prince willing to risk his throne-and his life-to find his missing sister. Forced together in a perilous fight against fate, Winter and the prince must outwit a queen who will stop at nothing to claim the crown.
Inspired by the legends of Snow White and Red Riding Hood, Fog & Mist is a spellbinding tale of betrayal, resilience, and the fight for freedom. Perfect for fans of dark fairy tale retellings!

Snow White Fairytale Retelling
I really enjoy fairytale retellings and this Snow White retelling is unique and intriguing. What I loved most was the depiction of the evil queen (Blanche) and the chapters from her POV. This was a bold move by Engen but she pulled off the perfect balance between power-hungry queen who was at times a little evil, yet still human. It's easy to see the queen's motives (whether right or wrong), which is sometimes what's lacking in fairytales. She didn't seem evil 'just because'. Instead, the reader is given insight into a complex character who clearly believes she's doing the right thing. I cannot wait to read the next book to see what's in store for Winterberry, Rus, and Blanche.
