Hello! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been here. I’m so sorry. Life has been so hectic.
I’m writing a macabre Snow White retelling duet, and I’ve written a blurb for book 2. It is one giant spoiler so be warned. I appreciate the extra eyes to help met get this perfected! Writing blurbs is not my strongsuit.
Poison the apples. Raise the dead. Don’t fall in love.
The Poisonous Queen—Lana—had ruled over Orsadia for three long years. The curse lives inside her head, persuading her every decision to take lives and use souls to do her bidding, and the people will not let her forget all those she’s wronged.
When Luka returns from his endeavors overseas, it takes Lana by surprise, but also dredges up memories. Pain floods her heart at what could have been when she had just taken the crown. Seeing the huntsman in the flesh, who once stood at her side, creates a divide within her mind: wanting to play the hero again, or living forever as the stain left on Orsadia.
She’s just not so sure she wants to play the villain anymore. She’s tired. She wants to fix what she’s broken and try to rekindle relationships again, and that comes at the cost of admitting her faults, of coming to terms with the inevitable.
Luka is not hers anymore; he’s had to move on. Being the hero means letting go of the past and promising a future by putting everyone else first. If she can’t suppress her deadly urges, the new princess will fall into the same pattern every queen has before them.
