In a warlike country where magic is outlawed and mages are put to death, the Snow White princess has no power to aid those suffering. An evil embedded deep within the court has grown strong enough to resist even the most powerful players of the shifting Snowdonian court. But there may be one thing it's overlooked - kindness can be a weapon too.NIEVE:Even though I'm a princess, I've lived a quiet life. My biggest royal role is singing the Snow White song at court for Winter Solstice. All I want is to support my loved ones, and feel their love in return. That dream was shattered the day I discovered I have forbidden magic, and the depths my stepmother would reach to get rid of it. My unlikely savior is the best friend I rejected years ago. Somehow, after all this time, he's willing to risk his life to get me to safety. Does the future I thought was gone still has a chance at coming true?ALARIC:I've been living a dangerous double life as a Snowdonian warrior-huntsmen for the last ten years, but I've abandoned it all in order to get Princess Nieve to safety. Now it turns out that the refuge I brought her to may be just as dangerous as her murderous stepmother. I'll sacrifice almost anything to keep her safe, but I don't know if I'm ready to make the most dangerous sacrifice of all - my heart.When the illusion of safety for Nieve and Alaric is suddenly shattered, will it destroy the second chance of love between them?
