Tales of Evermagic, #2

Rose’s stepmother has finally done it. She’s hired a huntsman. The Evil Queen may not realize that she is the Evil Queen of Snow White, but Rose does, and she’s been waiting for this day since she realized she was reliving her ancestor’s story. It was bad enough to be directly descended from the first Snow White. Now she is one, and the magic haunting her is playing its tricks.

But Rose is safe. She doesn’t have raven hair, or snow white skin. She’s a red head who doesn’t brush her hair, and has copper freckles all over her body. Certainly no threat to the regal queen that her stepmother is. At least no one thinks so until she’s dressed with jewels fit for an Indian princess. By trying to make her stepdaughter look foolish by over dressing her the queen has unwittingly uncovered Rose’s type of beauty.

Now the games begin. The queen plots, the huntsman offers to teach Rose how to kill him should he ever turn against her, and Rose must not only save herself, but her entire kingdom from the monster that is her stepmother and the ghost that haunts her fairy tale.
